How about 1986?!?!

4667, a rookie team from Temixco, MR, Mexico takes the spot! This is the first time an out-of-country team has attended the MN 10K Lakes Regional.

They should do North Star instead... Not that I'm biased or anything

I look forward to seeing all the teams there! 10K was so fun last year (not just because 3081 won ) and I'm glad to see so many returning players! Hopefully I won't get a metal splinter this year...

The volunteers are pretty cool though I feel like they should open up more seating and have a more lenient about bringing in personal food because dinky town is limited to how many people it can feed and during lunch period lines extend out of most food places. But aside from that the campus allows good free space to get out and get some fresh air.

You definitely aren't the only one who would like more leniency on bringing food into the venue. However, the U's contract with vendors inside of the arena prohibits event-goers from bringing food, and that extends to all events held in the arena.

If you find that Dinkytown isn't quite cutting it, there is additional food in Stadium Village (on Washington Ave just east of the University).

This is the first year team 2861 isn't attending 10,000 Lakes as it interferes with our spring break as well, but instead we are taking the four hour journey to Duluth for the Northern Lights Regional! We shall miss everyone at 10,000 Lakes. Good luck to all teams with their 2013 build season!

We'll miss you guys. Best of luck in Duluth this year.

10K is about the only time I'm glad to have reactive hypoglycemia and intolerance to a boatload of food ingredients. Basically, I have to eat every hour or so (no joke, I've had it cleared with teachers to eat during class ) and I basically take my lunchbox in with a sheet saying "medical supplies". I don't recommend this if you don't actually need it, but I'm glad to be able to have food on hand, since my teammates (including Camren ) have seen what I'm like when I haven't eaten. This is the one time I've seen them be lenient on the food issue. We assumed it'd be the same at St. Louis so I brought the same sheet, but they weren't even inspecting bags there (I think other people brought food into the Dome, but not the pits ).

Look up a few posts and you will see the most recently updated list.

I'm glad everyone still has a positive atmosphere to bring to this regional. As my last time on the team this year, and first year for roughly 90% of our team I'll be glad to know that when they get there they are coming to the same regional that wowed me my first year.

Alright, it's one of those dreaded "bumps", but I'm surprised this thread hasn't been active since February.

THE REGIONAL STARTS IN 2 DAYS! WHO'S EXCITED?!



There. I used all four of my smilies for that.

There should be some great competition! One of last year's winners, 525, has already won Northern Lights. 2052 has already won Lake Superior. And who knows what this year's vets and rookies have to offer!

Another of last year's winners, 3747, is not at 10K this year. They always do well, so best of luck to them at North Star!

And best of luck to all teams in Week 5 events!

[ehochstein]

Congratulations to all of the award winners!

Great job 2052, 525 and 3244 on winning the regional and beating out the 30-point climbing alliance of 2502, 2705 and 2501.

Thank you everyone for a great event I had a TON of fun scorekeeping and mentoring my team. Looking forward to seeing everyone again next year!

This weekend was extremely fun for 2705! We were very excited to make it to the finals with the other Eden Prairie team, 2502. We're very excited have to go the Championship Event by earning a wild card. Can't wait for another great regional next year!
