This Thursday we race at Seward Park against Renton and Hazen. In Seward Park there is a road that follows the lake, and there is a road that winds up the hill to the highest elevation point in the park. To get to the start, drive up the windy road that takes up to the top. The start line is right above the amphitheater. See you there.

Few runners have completed the famous but extremely difficult Road Warrior workout. In a Road Warrior, I drive my car at a constant speed (15 mph for the boys, 12 mph for the girls) while 3-4 runners at a time run along side. Every tenth of a mile I honk the horn. The goal for the runners is to see how many honks they can keep up with the car. As soon as a runner fades behind the back bumper, he or she must stop. We run the Road Warriors on the road leading to Philip Arnold Park. This road is a half a mile in length. For a guy to make all five honks he must run the half mile in 2:00. The girls run 2:30. This workout requires extreme mental and physical toughness to keep up as long as possible. Read on to see who made it to the gate.

The Varsity Boys team continued in its undefeated ways this afternoon as they easily defeated Evergreen and Mt. Ranier. The guys followed the race plan of just treating this race as a workout, running in a nice tight pack at tempo pace. The Girls team and the J.V. boys each dropped the race to Mt. Ranier but easily defeated Evergreen. Here are the times. The varsity boys times are not included since the entire race took a wrong turn and cut off about 240 meters.

With so many people running outstanding races at the Bellevue Invitational, it was extremely difficult to choose just one Runner of the Week. After a great deal of agonizing over the decision, I finally decided to award it to our fast little freshman Matt.
