Hey AgoNY!

Happy new year to you all and wishing you a new year of PR's, comebacks, and Ultras.

What a year 2013 was!  There were many successes.   
Our not so little team raced near and far.   And we even put a new meaning to "long distance" running, thanks to our warrior princess, Maria aka Xena.

So what's in store for you in 2014?  Is it to run more miles than ever, finally break, a huge PR, maintain fitness, or just stay healthy and injury free?  Whatever your goal is why not accomplish it by hitting the road, of course adding some strength training, and signing up for some races.   

Below, I will list 2014 Club Points Races and the dates.  Take a look and see what races will get you started on your path to achieving your goals.  There have been some changes to the usual schedule.  As you will see Brooklyn Half is not a Club Points Race this year, and the men and women share a weekend of racing back-to-back in the form of Mini10K and Portugal 5M. The schedule shuffle brings the Fifth Ave Mile earlier.  

Remember we need 10 MEN AND 10 WOMEN for the August's Team Championship Race.  To be eligible to run in this race, participants running for a team race would need to have raced AT LEAST 2 races under Agony prior to August 2.  Please start recruiting now!!!!!!!

As always, race when you can.  But we do need as much participation as possible!  To score, we need 5 men AND 5 women per race for distances under 25K.  NYC marathon requires 3 men AND 3 women.  Our ladies are doing so great!  If you didn't know, here are our club standings in 2013.  We hope to have even more success in both male and female divisions. 

Ladies:

Open B (still don't know what that means) 4th place out of 74 teams!!!!

40 + ranked 14 out of 57 teams (lets go for top 10 this year Ladies!)

Men:

Open B- ranked 36 out of 86 teams

40+ ranked 37 out of 77 teams

Wishing you much success and happy running and racing!

Linda
