Nike G.H.A.C. Cross Country Tour

[CentralNikeXC]

Ladies and gents -

this is Ivory, your neighborhood Nike Cross Country guru/road warrior. If you've been looking hard you have probably seen or heard rumors of the Nike trucks traversing the country in search of the soul of the sport. We've been out there about six weeks now and are getting into our groove (only one crash so far - knock on wood).

Anyhow, we have finally learned the basic skills necessary to operate a global computational device (think Zoolander, "the files are IN the computer") and we're getting some cool content up for you guys. Check out these sites:
http://centralnikexc.blogspot.com - just getting going but plenty more to come, this week ... tagging onto the back of the Long Green Line at York HS.

If you have any information about this, let me know and we will hunt this guy down like the dog he is. If you are the loser who took my camera ... start runnin' sucka.

While all the hype is about us going to meets, what we really love to do is visit schools and hang out with young harriers. You guys are the grassroots of the sport, the soul of the sport, everything starts with you guys. Bug your coaches to get a hold of us and we can set up a visit.

westnikexctour@gmail.com - Colt, West Coast collosus of cross country

This is a grassroots tour and we are grassroots guys. We're not sitting in a conference room between meets crunching numbers, we're probably out on a run or sleeping in the backseat of the truck. Drop us a line if you have any questions about any aspect of the sport, tell us how the workout went, the big race you're shooting for at the end of the year, the stain in lane three of the track where you puked last year, whatever.

Run long. Run hard.
