IC T-Shirts:
***********************************************
Just a reminder, The Colorado Running Company will be placing a shirt order on April 20. The tee shirt/singlet/long sleeve will be white with blue printing. CRC will only be ordering a few extras. So if you want one, order in advance! Prices will be in the $25-$40 range. To order yours email (e-mail removed to prevent spam) (I’m sure they won't mind you stopping by the store either)

Weekend Weather Report:
***********************************************
Currently: Its after 10pm and it is 50 deg outside!
Thursday: Mid to upper 40’s, cloudy a 50% chance of rain.
Sunday: Mostly clear, starting in the upper 30’s and getting to the upper 40’s by the end. Windy. Slight chance of a foot of snow on the ground from the supposedly _huge storm_ we are getting on Friday and Saturday.
So far my weather “forecasts” are about as good as my powerball number predictions, so dont read too much into it :-)

Race Reports:
***********************************************
This week Charles Scheibe reports on a nice Texan style 10k and then joins Julie for the Platte River Half.
***********************************************
Platte River Trail 1/2 Marathon — Denver — 4/5/09
Julie O’Neill reports:
Distance: 13.1 miles
Goal: ~1:50
Results: 1:52
Website: http://www.platteriverhalf.com/
General Summary:
Run on paved bike trails from Littleton to downtown Denver. Race morning was cool, but sunny with some snow/slush/slick spots along the trail.
Things Done Right:
-Race was part of a “marathon” training plan with the main race 5 weeks away. Was able to play with pace a bit because the course was paved and very flat (relatively).
-Ate right, drank right pre-race and during the run.
Things Done Wrong:
-Came down with a sinus infection a few days prior to the race and training levels were low for the week.
-Played with pace a little too much and went out too fast.

32nd Annual Capitol 10,000 — Austin, Texas — 03/29/2009
Charles Scheibe reports:
Distance: 10K
Goal: sub 56:00 — beat last year
Results: 53:05
Website: http://www.statesman.com/sports/content/cap10k/index.html
General Summary:
The largest 10K in Texas and the 5th largest in the US. Course runs through downtown Austin, around the Capitol building, and finishes on the shores of Town Lake. Several hills in the first 3 miles then relatively flat to the finish line.
Things Done Right:
Paced well! Used the first mile, uphill, to warm up. Completed my 32nd straight Capitol 10K ... all of them!
Things Done Wrong:
Participated in overnight relay on Friday ... didn’t run hard but didn’t sleep much either!
***********************************************
7th Annual Platte Rive Half Marathon — Littleton, CO — 04/05/2009
Charles Scheibe reports:
Distance: 13.1 miles
Goal: sub 2:05
Results: 2:07:41
Website: http://www.platteriverhalf.com/
General Summary:
Ran 2 miles through downtown Littleton, then 10 miles along the paved Platte River Trail, and finished in Lincoln Park, just south of downtown Denver.
Things Done Right:
Careful on the snowy, slushy pavement ... a few slips but no falls! Dressed appropriately ... comfortable most of the way! Ran steady the first 10 miles, then tapered off the last 3.
Things Done Wrong:
Neglected long runs the past few weeks! Ran in well-worn shoes with little traction!
