See race/CCB details below, everyone.
Also, important question: Does anyone in the race of a f*riend or
significant other* coming to the race? If so, would said individual be
willing to hold on to some people's sweat pants and wallets, for a fee of
several beers from everyone else? Let me know if you have any leads....
Unfortunately they don't provide lockers or anything like that.
Last thing: Many Irish pubs in Somerville host a huge number of runners at
the end of the race. This is why this event is so fun. I suggest we try to
get into *The Burren* after the race. The lines get long pretty quick, so
try to show up as soon as you can (e.g. walk there from the finish line).
My cell is 619 850 4653.
Pain,
Nicolas

Hey!!!
I’m so excited for the race! It’s at 11AM. I’ve asked Helen to send out an
email a couple of times - hope it goes out today!! Here is the content,
anyway.
Agh I don’t know what I will run! hopefully 16:50-ish, but the weather is
so crazy I think I will be slower!!! What are you going for?
Dear CCB,
Just a reminder… The CCB Running Cross Country Race is on *Sunday*! For
those who have signed up - get excited! For those who have not - come and
support your labmates!
If you entered using the CCB Discount code, I should get your name in a
special list at the end to make scoring easier. If you did not use the
discount code, please let me know so I can add you to the scoring list (
hollyannerees(a)g.harvard.edu).
*Scoring Info - A reminder*
Labs will need only FIVE RUNNERS to field a team! The scoring will be as
follows:
The race attracts >2,000 runners each year. Each successful runner from CCB
will finish with a place amongst all the other runners in the race within
their gender. The top five placed athletes from each lab will have their
places summed and this will form the preliminary ‘score’ of that lab.
IN ADDITION - EVERYONE WHO RACES, EARNS POINTS. For each additional person
(beyond the five top placed lab members) in a lab who successfully runs the
race will earn a bonus NEGATIVE FIVE points for their lab.
The lab with the lowest final score wins.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the
scoring or the race.
Happy running,
Holly Rees (Liu lab)

Hi Nico,
Thanks for your message—and happy you’ll be participating!
The 5k competition is not run through GPC to my knowledge. I believe last
year’s organizer was Holly Rees, cc’d.
All the best,
Christina

Hi Christina!
Alan and I are wondering how the 5k competition works this year? Do we
send the names of all our runners to somebody?
Also, how is the scoring done again? (I thought it was standard XC scoring
with alternating genders....)
Sorry if I should be emailing someone else...
Thanks!!
Nicolas
