Carolina XC Classic Week :D :D

I think I used this same meme for Tar Heel 10 last year, and I’ll probably use it again BUT WHO CARES BECAUSE ITS HOME MEET WEEK BABY. The Carolina XC Classic is this Saturday, September 14th. A couple notes:

Registration closes on the 11th. Andrew has sent a sign-up sheet in the Dues-Paying GroupMe. If you haven’t paid dues yet and plan to race, do that ASAP so you can register.
Men will run an 8k and women will run a 6k. These are the same distances as are ran at nationals. Each of these will be ran at the Carolina North forest.
We will provide transportation to this (and all our other) meets, so do not stress about that.
We will also provide jerseys. Come to practice Friday to collect these. I do not plan on bringing these to the meet unless we make prior arrangements, so be there.
If you wish to run nationals in the fall, you must run either this meet, UVA, or Regionals in Knoxville. If you want a quick and easy race to be qualified for nationals, come run here. It’ll be a blast and is close by.

A couple other notes of some super exciting stuff we have planned (or notes on things to do):

We will be doing a pre-meet pasta dinner Friday night!!! This will be hosted at 703 N Columbia St. after practice. We’ll send out more information in the GroupMe, including time and an RSVP. We will have vegetarian, vegan, and meat-based options available. Keep a lookout
We will release a full weekly schedule in the GroupMe tomorrow, but for tomorrow, we will be doing a 3-mile, a 5-mile, and a 3-mile easy run route. We will do a workout this week on Tuesday (along with easy runs). More information will be sent out tomorrow
If you plan on racing or doing field events this year, please pay dues ASAP. We plan on ordering shirts soon and really need an accurate sizing count.
For those of you who have paid dues and plan to go to any meets in the next year, please fill out the forms Andrew sent in the Dues-Paying GroupMe. These include joining the HeelLife, registering with the UNC DSE, and filling out a liability form with NIRCA. They don’t take long but you cannot compete without them.
