The next 4 weeks will be gone before we know it & it will be time for each of us to put our money where our smack-talking mouths (or smack-typing fingers) are. So without further ado,

- Following check-in and virgin cocktails the evening will include a protein loading dinner at a restaurant or cafeteria TBA.
- The actual Decathlon will begin at a time TBA on the afternoon of Friday the 17th of October shortly followed by the 11th event breadstick event at Olive Garden, Lynchburg, VA. This year's breadstick event has a sponsor and from this point forward will be called the:

uh, what if we want to vote for McCain?
I may need to withdrawl my support for this event. The DRD has always stood above politics, and are we now stooping to this level? I know DRD athletes who refused to sit through "The Jerry Springer Movie," and now we are having a political stand thrust upon us?
Is this political decision a reversal on Liberty's past stance on Obama parking support ?

Joe, I appreciate your willingness to allow us to sponsor your breadstick event. Barack will be busy ummm-ing and uhhh-ing on the campaign trail so he won't be able to make it.
Good news though... I have changed my itinerary so that I can take Amtrak down to Lynchburg from Wilmington and have a few breadsticks with you boys.
Senator Biden,
I'll be in town covering the event for ESPN. Do you wanna share a room at the Wingate? It will give us a chance to play catch-up and compare notes. (hint, hint)
I'm Greek, I'm eloquent, and I'll be attending the DRD next month!
looks like the skinny track-boy chickens are come'n home to ROOST!!!
I intend to run for Pennsylvania State Assembly soon (again) and would like my campaign to sponsor one of your events. The shot-put or discus perhaps? Only problem is that my campaign hasn't exactly taken off just yet and I'm a little short on cash.
So maybe the DRD could spot me?
I'd be your 'mitch'
