Results of the Annual WTC Member Survey

We asked.
You spoke.
We listened.

Then we left your responses to rot in the back of Coach Mike’s Range Rover.

They were in a large white envelope underneath a nylon bag full of about two dozen horseshoes (judging by the weight of it, that is), a stack of mismatched orange traffic cones, and a giant straw sombrero.   If you happen to run across it…well, you know, it’s best to leave it in peace. You understand.

Anyway, a deadline is a deadline — and we’ve never missed one yet (if you don’t include all the ones we’ve missed) —  so we answered the challenge and did what we do best…

We just made some stuff up.

Remember That “Protein Shake” at the Diner?

Bad news everyone…those “protein shakes” (and I use the term VERY LOOSELY) given to us at the Diner were not what we thought they were…

Award Ceremony

Last Saturday, Jay was (finally) awarded his team award and medal for the 2011 Masters National Cross Country Championships, where he ensured Westchester its second place finish. We are sorry for the delay, Jay, but we wanted our very special presenters to be on hand to give you your award! Thanks to the Ghost of Pre, President Obama, and Donald Trump for making their way to practice!

But seriously, congrats! And here’s the real pic, I suppose (grumble)…

NYC Half Fashion Week 2012: The Rupp Collection

The spring road race season is gearing up, and NYRR has announced its elite field assembled thus far for the 2012 NYC Half Marathon, slated for March 18. Notably absent is Galen Rupp, who made his stellar half marathon debut at last year’s race. Insiders, however, inform us that Rupp WILL indeed be running the NYC Half, despite rumors that he’s preparing for a bid on the track for something called the Olimpix (sp??? I never heard of it).

Anyway, Rupp has delayed announcing his entry into the NYC Half because he is busy putting the finishing touches on his debut fashion line. In what was to be a savvy PR move orchestrated by Nike, Rupp was going to confirm his participation in the March 18th race in a press conference at Gucci headquarters. At the same time, he was going to reveal his new label, The Rupp Collection. Inspired by the exclusive designs shown at the recently concluded New York Fashion Week, Rupp was moved to try his hand at designing is own line after famously sporting a mask at last year’s NYC Half. He is said to be influenced by Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, and Lady Gaga.

However, Rupp’s top designs for his exclusive face mask line were leaked to the Westchester Track Club blog, and we can affirm through our sources (who wish to remain anonymous, on penalty of more repeats up Barf Hill) that Rupp WILL run the NYC Half, and will sport a look from his line on the, well, line. Take a peek and let us know what you think of his design chops:

	The Original. The mask that started it all.
	The Floral. Rupp shows his vulnerable, sensitive side.
	Hello Kitty. You know you love Hello Kitty. Don’t deny it.
	The Invisimask. Using the latest Harry Potter technology, this mask goes under the radar!
	The Solinsky. Adoration or intimidation? Whatever! His #1 enemy is on his face, dude!
	The Vader. “Alberto…I am your father….”

The Rupp Collection…get your mask today!
