It was a fairly flat course with water at the half marker. There were 171 people participating.

I'm guessing that you are talking about a race later in the summer since cross country season hasn't really started up, anyway, it just depends on your training.  If it is later this summer, make sure that you get plenty of training in to build a good base for later in the season.  Talk to a coach to work out a good running plan over the summer, and work your way up in mileage gradually.  By the time you get to the race you should do fine.  My first 5k was on a flat course too, and I got about 20:15, but most of the guys on my team got around the 22-24 min range.  Just make your goals reasonable according to your training level and move them down twenty or thirty seconds as you achieve your goals.  Hope this helped, and have a good race!

It is not possible.  There is nobody behind the last person to overtake them.  They are LAST.  The only other possibility is if the first place person is lapping the last place person.

the PG triathlon cycle part is easy...but just don't loose your count. i think you have to do 4 loops for the olympic distance. Its pretty much flat the entire way and pretty fast.\n\nI haven't done the sentinel yet but maybe i will sometime.

For the race ten hurdles of a height of 84 cm (2-3/4 feet) are placed evenly spaced along a straight course of 100 meters.

Non, très peu. 5/6 pratiquants en compétition dans paris (club "Paris Curling", pas de site internet, je ne sais pas s'ils existent encore) intra-muros, une quinzaine dans la banlieue. Surtout populaire dans les départements français frontaliers de la Suisse, dans les Alpes.

I think they've tried having a round in conjunction with the SCCA's pro rally circuit. I think it was the one in Olympia, WA. It'd be nice if they came back. The WRC's rules are different, but long as they ran a different class than the SCCA cars at the same event, I am more than all for it! I like both the WRC and scca pro rally.

There is one in Chicago on August 26th that sounds pretty good- It's a super sprint, and it's a 375m swim, 1.5 mile run, and 10K bike.  I am looking at doing that one, especially because it is in shallow waters along the shore of Lake Michigan.  \nThere is one triathlon in Milwaukee on August 6th, the Xterra Sport Tri, which has trail running and mountain biking, and is 750m swim / 15k mountain bike / 5k trail run.  Either one of these would be great for a beginning race.

How about a round of golf at a great golf course.  To hard to pick out golf equipment

Funny, good question. I guess they don't eat or drink for a while before the race. If it were me, I'd loose for sure.

YEP! They like the extra "show"......Just contact the director of the activities, or the place hosting the sport and make arrangements with them! You can usually find the info on the racing sites on who to contact. Better to call and actually speak with a person though, and make sure you take names!
