The first set of pictures belong to the bike race I went to during the weekend of my birthday at DePauw University which is one of my two Alma Maters. We were celebrating the Alumni version of a very popular bike race that takes place every year on campus called the "Little 5". Back in the day (the better part than 10 years ago) the race was much different than what is now... you can find more about the race and it's evolution HERE.
One thing remains and that is that race takes place on the track which brings a whole new dynamic to the event... at any rate, it was sweet to get back and see the campus and experience racing on the track again. The polka-dots came out to spread the word about the National Blood Clot Alliance...they were not very fast to contend for the win, as I got lapped a few times, but I was not last just not in shape yet...The next set of photos belong to the VERY SOGGY Flying Pig Half-Marathon I ran two weekends ago... outside of the rain the only other highlight of the day was the debut of my very own "running shorts" which I have to say I enjoyed while racing but I need to wear more often to even up the tan on my legs...Thank you for reading,The Clot Buster
I love the pics -- especially from the Little 5. The polka dots were flying!
