Default Pick-up wireless signal (indoor) and long cable outdoors

I use my laptop for finishers' time recording during running events
(outside) and want to publish the most current standings through an
internet website on a projector inside, the building has WiFi.

What simple device can I use to pick-up the indoor WiFi signal and
lead it (wired?) to my laptop, which is about 50 yards away from the
building?

One of these perhaps?

If you haven't got a PCMCIA slot (unlikely), then you'll need a wireless
bridge adapter and plug into into the ethernet port on your PC.

This might do the job:

It's a wireless nic that plugs into your laptop's network port; in your
case, through a rather long cat5 cable. $51.99 @ NewEgg

It's going to be simpler than I thought: Netgear MA101 (wireless USB
adapter) with a USB extender that uses CAT5 UTP cable, this can go up
to 150 feet! (search on 'USB extender RJ45')
