From Slattery's to the Tri-Gob and your local Maine island isolation race, good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!

According to Kevin:
Jenn's race is at 11PM tonight. (1PM Monday in Chiba. )
If you're interested, there's a blog Japan Running News, which has instructions on how to watch the race live.
Jenn is the anchor which puts her in the 12:30AM range.
Good luck and have fun, Jenn!

Club XC Nationals
As of yesterday, we are officially one month out from Club XC Nationals. This year it is held in Lexington, KY.
Our season will cap off with a great team event and some good old fashioned bonding during post-race fun. My version includes a pint of ice cream, a half case of beer and *maybe* dancing. Laura may get us some free pasta, hopefully there won't be any code 803s and no one with frostbite. By the way, what happens at Club Nats stays at Club Nats.
We are beginning to work out our travel plans. I've advanced booked 8 two-bed rooms at a hotel just one mile from the Convention Center. The hotel happens to have an onsite Waffle House. I'll set my alarm to make sure we get there by 3am.
As for flight plans, the options are to leave Thursday day, Thursday night (after work) or Friday day:
Cincinnatti [CVG]
- non-stop available
- $50 cheaper
- total flight time: 2.5 hours
- 90 minute drive to Lexington
Lexington [LEX]
- minimum 1-stop
- price closer to $300
- total flight time w/ connection: ~4-7 hours
- 15 minute drive to hotel
Flying back to BOS, it's best to get an afternoon to early evening flight.
I have some flight numbers and itineraries ready. I can book for up to 6 people. So if I have 5 other people committed, I can book a group and rent our van.
My inclinations are to fly from BOS into CVG, Thursday 5p (Delta 1131). And fly out Sunday 5p (Delta 5964). The prices have already inched up $10.
Post here for your feedback.

Battle of the New England clubs
... for cross country that is.
This Sunday is the 2009 USATF New England Cross Country Championships.
Both the men and women are vying for wins against fellow club teams BAA, GBTC and others. The biggest contender against NBB for the title is BAA.
Both NBB men and women were able to hold off BAA at Mayor's Cup with very close results. The competition will be fierce and we'll be ready.
Let the mud fly.
