Race week on deck with our season opener at Allatoona Creek Park.

"Training was a rite of purification; from it came speed, strength.  Racing was a rite of death; from it came knowledge.  Such rites demand, if they are to be meaningful at all, a certain amount of time spent precisely on the Red Line, where you can lean over the manicured putting green at the edge of the precipice and see exactly nothing." - John L. Parker, Jr., Once a Runner
