Final '09 Festivities

Hey folks, December is here, which means several things:

1. It's getting balls cold outside.
2. Finals are rapidly approaching
3. Jesus' Birthday is coming up
4. No school for a while!


Unfortunately, #2 and 4 mean that we can't hold organized practice for a whole month! Boo, NCAA and your sanctions. So, for one last time, the Warrior Distance Crew will gather together for a final organized meeting, and lay it all on the line. That's right, it's time for the

MOUSTACHE MILE!


The annual December time trial has been renamed this year to reflect the facial hair stylings of Stanislaus men's XC crew. However, don't expect too many actual moustaches, since we are all just growing our beards out and don't want to slow down the process.

Once the serious stuff is over, the real fun begins. This year, we are holding the first annual

EGGNOG 800!

That's right, similar to a milk mile, the Eggnog 8 involves drinking 8 oz of Eggnog every 200 meters of a 2-lapper. If you ralph, automatic DQ. My money is on Terrance to break 2 minutes and set a new world record in the event. Why? Because he's Terrance.

Okay folks, I hope to see you there. The events kick off at 3 pm on Saturday Dec. 5.
