LIVE: From Lynchburg


DAY 1:
The 2008 DRD athletes have almost all arrived.

Currently registered are:
-Joshua Zealand
-Matthew Zealand
-Bruce Kite
-John Khan
-Brent Neiter
- Joey DiCarlo


The event official, Brian Ballard arrived in town this afternoon and is preparing the ground rules of the competition. Some measures were discussed at an informal meeting that would do away with times, heights, distances etc. & instead base the competition on a points system that is determined by placement in each event. (ie the lowest score wins)
It is rumored that many of the competitors carbo-loaded this evening at the local Cracker Barrell & after some hot-tubbing they finished the job with some 1/4 pints of Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream.
Tomorrows agenda is fairly open, but it has already been determined that the event will kick off with the 100 meter run at 4 pm sharp (following the singing of the US & Canadian national anthems)


Stay tuned for more details & photographs as they become available.

Anonymous,

Do you really think that Bruce would be seeded so highly?

C'mon!

coming soon...
I have to qualify this though. These will be photographs of men. But these so-called "men" will be holding things like women's javelins, women's shotputs and jumping hurdles set at a women's height...
