Great Urban Race
Since the Washington Race was postponed, Jenny Pierce and I signed up for the Great Urban Race (part running race, part scavenger hunt and really fun!). Jenny was a great partner, I was a first-timer and we came in 31st out of 125-only 4 minutes out of the top 25! Kris Hall, who partnered with Ed from Edventures, (a friend of the SDs!), won first place! The race results and some photos from the start line are posted here:

Here are some of our "clue" photos and a photo of Kris and Ed....

Washington DC Festival Cancelled for SDs in 2008
Well they made their decision and the festival will be held on the 31st-1st. I have sent an email to the organizers saying we cannot attend.
Some have asked about going for just Sunday. It was discussed but the final decision was no.
The reasoning is as follows-
The fund raiser is a 10 course banquet and most likely will go late.
To both race on Sunday and attend the banquet people would have to leave at 3:30-4 Sunday morning (if not earlier) to get there in time. Races on Sunday were scheduled to start at 8 so we would have to be there no later than 7.
Most people would have to drive back that same day (making a very long day!)
There is a race the next week right here in Philly.
Everyone wanted to go and we are very sorry it didn't work this year. But-the race organizers have decided to put any fees paid this year towards next year. So we already have one race scheduled for 2009! Woohoo!

Article in NYTimes about the Schuylkill
This was published last week. It's about rowing but still, they are talking about our river.
