Race Buddy concept

The 'Race Buddy' concept is pretty easy. There are times when members for whatever reason may opt to run a race at a slower pace than usual. It might be because they are using it as a training run, because they have a slight injury, etc.

In this case, they can opt to act as a 'Race Buddy' for other members who run at a slower pace.

An example of how it works is as follows....

• Member 'A' opts to run say a 5 mile race in 40 minutes instead of their usual 30 minutes.
• They send an e-mail to the Eagle AC mail list a few days in advance stating that they are going to act as a 'Race Buddy' for a certain pace.
• Members who are interested in trying for that time should contact Member 'A' directly.
• For the race, member 'A' runs at a steady even pace so that the person that's running with them has the best chance of achieving their target time.
