Before I begin, you’ll need to remember a few things. First, I’m running the Austin Marathon on February 20th (yes, a mere 11 or so days from now). Second, I’m going to be trying out for my company’s competitive corporate team for the Capitol 10K Race. The race is on March 27th, but the tryouts are slated for March 2nd. Now that we’re all up to speed, I’d like to share some new information that has come to my attention and could change everything*.

Try Outs
Upon moving to Austin to work at National Instruments I learned that I had just missed the Capitol 10K. It happens to be the largest 10K race in Texas (over 20,000 runners last year) and stirs up a lot of excitement in these parts. I bring this all up now because the Cap10K, as it’s affectionately known, is right around the corner (kind of) at the end of March. There was already an info session about the race (yes, in mid January) to start building interest. With this race, NI recruits a team to take part in the race’s Corporate Challenge. That’s where I come in.
