I have to start by apologizing forthe delay in getting the newsletterout. Thanks for your patience.It has been a busy Spring of rac-ing. Almost every one of our racesthis year have had record turnouts.Thank you to everyone whoraced, volenteered or just let theirspouse out of the house longenough to join us.In this issue we have recapped the races so far this season. I havetried to include as may pictures as possible. Thank you to all thathave emailed contributions. Also in this issue is an article by alocal writer, Jane Sims, on Speed Hiking. Not exactly running,but I found it very interesting. I hope you will too.Lastly, most of you have heard that we have new Taconic TeamClothing. We were able to work out a great deal with Asics TeamSports Division and are offering all kinds of TRRC logoed cloth-ing at great prices. Please show your club colors, whether racingin Central Park or hanging out at your local coffee shop after aweekend run. Asample of the available items are shown withinthis issue along with an order form. If there is something else youwould like to see, please email me and I will see what we canfind. Orders will be placed once a month.Have a safe, healthy and enjoyable time out there,George
