Spectating the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler
>> 07 April 2009
DJA and I woke up at some unholy hour on Sunday morning to go support some friends who ran the Cherry Blossom Festival 10-miler in DC. Don't ask me what we were thinking.
Anyway, I texted Josh M to get his bib number, his starting "wave" (group), and any distinctive clothing he might be wearing so that we could spot him. The reply:
"8072, blue wave, flesh-colored leotard"Oh really? This could get interesting. If only.
"Naw, white shirt and black shorts"Sigh. Too bad.
We did catch our boy along the course at about the 3.5-mile mark, after DJA and I trucked across the Mall:
Shortly thereafter and out of nowhere, a runner tossed a shirt that landed right at DJA's feet -- now, either the runner had overdressed, or they saw DJA's flowing locks of hair and wanted to treat him like an onstage rock-star. Only in this case it was a long-sleeved shirt, and not underwear.
Again, if only.
2 ideas preached:
lol, people really should dress is leopard print or neon colors, it would definitely help those out who came to support spot them.
This actually looks more like toilet paper.
