Funny how things work out....

Kurtclm  Sometimes when you butt heads with someone for a long time that you've only met online or just in passing at a race (especially when both of you are very strong-willed and opinionated people), but then you have the chance to hang out and drink beers, you get to know each other better and find out how OK the other is! Kurt, fun weekend with you and Shelley. Must have been fate at the Longhorn Steakhouse. Either that or us following the Subaru with the shoes on top.   ;-)

What was I? A "cross" dressing vision in pink, with the new pink argyle and sparkly jersey, a hot pink skirt from www.tribabe.com, glasses and a mustache. Eight year old Allie was already doing the kids' race when I got back from the car and I yelled at her to GO GO GO and she kept staring at me and laughing and almost ran into the kid in front of her. It was pretty funny. A very good time was had by all.

After the costume cross, it was time for the real race, but that's another story for later.
