I was under the impression for the last seven years that you were protesting the fact that the 30K relay was a points race, not the HSR's means of showing its displeasure. I guess I didn't bother reading the shirt--I was too busy trying to stay out of ol' Kenny's way, as he had a habit of wobbling back and forth when he ran and bumping into those near him, perhaps on purpose, most likely as a result of some sort of neurological derangement.kemibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843360441074102811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430544591281126842.post-27274474173285683112008-12-27T10:01:00.000-05:002008-12-27T10:01:00.000-05:00It was no joke.

My feeling was that the black ribbons should be used ONLY for the purpose of mourning and I felt it trivialized the usage.<BR/><BR/>I didn't think I'd win the race and get interviewed.<BR/><BR/>I can't top Beck's 140 mile week, but I did have 120 that week....double-d Mountain runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826766263829821909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430544591281126842.post-47311445294929201482008-12-26T21:54:00.000-05:002008-12-26T21:54:00.000-05:00As I recall, Dave wore the shirt mostly as a joke-...As I recall, Dave wore the shirt mostly as a joke--he might not have liked the decision to have the relay division of the 30K count toward Grand Pricks points, but I don't think his sense of well-being depended on it. <BR/><BR/>But naturally, what with Dave being a runner of no small stature (metaphorically speaking), Dave Camire insisted on interviewing him and elevating the whole thing far above the level of attention anyone involved felt it deserved.

Can you or Dave shed light on the t-shirt worn by Dave within the race in protest agaist the political issue with HSR?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08339332595938186704noreply@blogger.com
