in Practice by coach mike on 13 Oct 2007

Did something different at practice Friday.  Split into groups of twos (some threes) and did a business card run.  The rules were (which most cheated at) run to the a place of business in town and introduce yourself as a member of the cross country team and ask for a business card. The time limit was one hour at which time we were going to count and see you had the most cards.  the winning groups get to go out for supper.  Of coarse you were to run from spot to spot, you were also going to receive bonus points for business cards from a longer distance. Things didn’t seem right when three runners showed up early with a lot of cards and very little sweat!  Finally after an hour here came the rest of the groups with tales of seeing some in a car driving by and hooking at them as they ran!  Cheaters! Busted! Disqualified!   The next problem was one of telling the the truth about staying together and not staying together!  The rule was unclear but one member of the team told one story, the other another!  The old which tire was flat, late to school story!  Oh well, at least they had some fun, by the time the first teams had been to a business, people were waiting for them with the cards!  At least people know we have a cross country team in town now!  I guess all this positioning to  win, was just wanting to be seen with me at a local restaurant!
