Is there a quarter mile oval thats open to the public near campus?

I use Broughton's track all the time.

6/25/2007 3:38:33 PM

sucks that the they removed the one on campus

6/25/2007 3:43:32 PM

Technically Broughton is not open to the public. However, you can probably get away with it. Just use their facilities when nobody else is.

Also, there's Cardinal Gibbons

just walk into reynolds

Yo Abe,

What kinda training are you doing these days? The Olympics still in your future?

I'm still a pretty sluggish swimmer (50sec 100s for 15-20 minutes). I'm pretty sure my body position isn't just right yet.

6/25/2007 4:32:09 PM

^^ i think Derr is closed, hence the question

6/25/2007 4:35:19 PM

Sup Chance, long time no see/talk.

I'm headed back to Raleigh early August.

I'm pretty much free. I'll be working part-time, but mainly training.

I have an Elite Cup race in July and another one in August.

I'll PM you my cell and stuff so we can exchange info. I'll try to find time to help you out. I'll be swimming at Pullen a lot (no longer student at NCSU).

I would just use the track in either Reynolds, which is never crowded or the gym. or just run the im fields

Bryan, what gave you ther urge to run? Or are you intending to longboard on it?

6/25/2007 6:20:11 PM

Is there a track off of Method road around the soccer fields?

6/25/2007 6:30:00 PM

I know this awesome track. It's called the road.

6/25/2007 8:11:20 PM

I see the general public using Cary HS's track all the time

6/25/2007 9:20:31 PM

derr track is looking real nice, i just saw the new grass today

6/25/2007 10:49:34 PM

Anybody know when it's opening back up?

6/25/2007 10:52:03 PM

50 second 100 yard/meter swimming? for 15-20 minutes?

i'm calling bullshit

6/26/2007 3:19:20 AM

The record for 100 meter freestyle (the fastest stroke) is a little under 50 seconds..so yeah...bs

6/26/2007 3:28:45 AM

even if it was a yard time, no way he could do that for more than once.... twice is close to world record pace...

6/26/2007 4:26:51 AM

hmm...where is the broughton track?

6/26/2007 2:26:07 PM

^ Broughton High School - corner of St. Mary's and Peace

6/26/2007 2:53:45 PM

oh okay, thanks. I never noticed there was a track there.

6/26/2007 4:13:03 PM

Theres also Athens Drive track, which is nice because if you live anywhere close to the lake johnson path you can walk there on the trail

6/26/2007 5:06:04 PM

Shit, I'd be impressed if he, or anyone else on this board who is not currently on the NCSU swim team, could do more than 1 or 2 in under a minute in a 15-20 minute span with rest.

6/26/2007 10:55:21 PM

Thanks for the replies. Athens sounds like a go.

Oh and carzak is right, I'm going to be timing my 'no push' mile boarding, not running

6/27/2007 9:54:48 AM

theres a dirt one in the field beside the school for the blind right across from pullen park off ashe avenue
