[Triangle-AR] Help Needed

[Jake Jacobson]

if the club is looking for a female team member i am willing to combine for
a race.  i have not done a race but am a former army sergeant, collegiate
softball player, marathon runner and generally tough person.  i am planning
to do a few solo races at the end of the summer but would like to do a team
one as well.

"jake" jacobson (real name: cathy)

> 2.  New Hope (6 miles of relatively hillyy hiking trails)

> 3.  TLC White Pines (3-4 miles of hilly trails)

> 4.  The overgrown trails along the Haw river, both north and

> 5.  Paddling on Jordan lake
