Misson Accomplished


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - For the first time ever, multisport fans can watch the United States' top triathletes take aim at a national title when VERSUS televises the 2010 USA Triathlon Elite National Championship on Thursday, Oct. 14, from 4-6 p.m. EDT.

The September 25 event in Tuscaloosa, Ala., will be aired via tape-delay on the sports cable network and will feature nearly 70 top men's and women's American triathletes. Veteran Olympic and Tour de France broadcaster Craig Hummer will call the action, while 2004 U.S. Olympic triathlete Barb Lindquist will report directly from the course.

Also, Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry are reportedly not the same person, and the great Warren Finke likes Def Leppard.

Speaking of stuff that's really sweet, the Oregon Road Runners Club is hosting their first-ever race director workshop. Saturday, November 6, 2010, it presents the basics of putting on a running event. Find out what you need to know in time to put on events in the spring or summer of 2011.

The workshop will be held at the ORRC office, located at 4640 SW Western Ave., Beaverton, OR 97005, from 9am to 4pm, and lunch is included. The total price for the all-day workshop, inlcuding lunch, is $30. You also get a notebook and thumb-drive with all the information presented during the workshop to take with you after you are done.
