Hey Runas Connect fans,

and Nett Fans, welcome back to the Team RC Update.

Coach Michael Hammond here, as always bringing you our weekly update on what's going

on with the Runas Connect community, what's going on with our athletes, with our team, and

this week I have to kind of, guys I kind of have to eat Crow a little bit

something I said for really the past like couple months was that I was I kind of I

wouldn't say I made like an outright prediction necessarily but I definitely was on board like the

race is coming back this fall I was I was very optimistic that's that much I can say for those of
