Pine Belt Pacers Forum

Making teams for the Labor your Legs 5K sometimes is not so easy. In the previous years, we have just placed some runners together in 4-5 teams rosters right before the race.

Who is running on Saturday? Just answer this post with a message "I AM". I will gather all the names and try to make some balanced 4-member teams according to estimated or previous 5k finish times. I will post the teams in the forum on Friday afternoon (if you know other people who are going to run for sure, just give me the names).

So.... who is going to run on Saturday?

Let's start the list.. I AM

1. Nestor Raul Anzola
2. Ginny Dufrene
3. Audrey Jackson
4. Frank Barrett
5. Phillip Wedgeworth

Who else?

I think my sister-n-law, Sonja Dufrene, will be in-town to run the race, she has preregistered. Her race time last weekend in Jackson was 28:29, please add her to a team.

i suppose add me...it won't be pretty but it's all about the effort right?

YES, you are right Dawn! -- By the way, thank you Ginny and Dawn for responding my post.

Wow! It is so hard to get the Pacers to be part of a team competition! (should I include the information on the $8,000 we are giving away to those who compete in this category on Saturday? )

Anyway, gathering names from my e-mail and the PBP forum, I have the following list of participants. Is anyone else going to be present that day? (say something...you..lazy people! ) ---->

1. Sonja Dufrene
2. Nestor Raul Anzola
3. Ginny Dufrene
4. Audrey Jackson
5. Frank Barrett
6. Phillip Wedgeworth
7. Dawn Smith
8. Dale Sumrall
9. Kily Garcia
10. Terry Ingram
11. Charles Jackson
12. Andrew Maxwell

I am. Last 5K time 38:02.

Thanks,
Karen Lott

My plans for the weekend just got changed, something about a boat and a hurricane just don't mix. So I'm in. Run 28:21 last week at JCJC. See you all there.

I am running as well... but what is a 'team' and how does it work? Do you all run together? What about finishing?

Thanks- JT

Hi Jen! good question! Each team will include 4 people; everyone runs to his/her own pace. The times for the top three runners on each team are combined for a total time, and the best total time wins. I think the club will give awards to the top three teams. Each team will include "fast" and "no so fast" runners, so we have balanced squads with close estimated finishing times.

Thanks Jen, Mike and Karen! Welcome to the team competition!

Okay, that helps and it sounds like fun! My time for the last 5K was 32:04.

See you all Saturday.

team run,,,,,,I AM,,,,bobby ray davis,,,,

Raul, I maybe helping with run, instead of running. so do not put me on a team until sat. morning

I'm really enjoying my time in NM, but I wish I could be back in Hattiesburg just long enough to do tomorrow's race. I hope everything goes well and that all of your have super times and lots of fun.
