Sprints)<br />will take place on Saturday, February 25th at the new Agganis Arena at Boston University<br />(http://www.agganisarena.com). This will the 25th consecutive running of the C.R.A.S.H-B. Sprints!<br />The event will be followed by a party (with live music) at the Copley Marriott Hotel. <br /><br /><note - this is a beautiful location - near downtown boston - better parking and facilities.>

Sir Pirate, you can probably walk across the Charles River in February. This is Boston we are talking about - not the nice mild climate of London.<br /><br />There should be a basketball hoop somewhere around the arena. If you can't beat me on the erg, then maybe at hoops afterwards. See you there.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Paul Flack

I now see the party at the hotel reference. You'd think a guy in the party business would see the party reference. Duh.

[[old] Rocket Roy]

So any one any idea as to which Hotel is being used?<br /><br /> And surely the party will be switched to the new hotel too?

[[old] Pete Marston]

Hye Roy, your sig on here is really out of date - your 2k is quicker, and your weight more! <br /><br />I'm interested to hear where the team hotel will be too.

[[old] Rocket Roy]

Thanks Pete, just done it, had to knock 9 mins off my FM, 14 sec's off my 10k, 23 sec's off 5k and 1.5 sec's off 2k.
