Master's Track Nationals
The Master's track nationals are here in town this week. Mary and I went over to the track this morning to cheer Renee on in her 2k Pursuit. While we waited we had the good fortune of seeing a lot of old guys racing...the better sights were behind the track though. Check out this guy's Betty Boop tattoo. Seriously, if you are going to shave your legs and wear lycra, wouldn't you choose something a bit more manly to tattoo on your bulging calf muscles?
It got better though. This official must have been so wrapped up in counting laps yesterday that she forgot to wear sunscreen...nobody told her the sun is more potent at 6000 feet appearently. Ouch!
Renee moved up in her racing category this year which meant she got to race Maatje, another local racer. She usually races for Excel...but today she looked a bit like a praying mantis or black widow...in the end we decided she looks like Dark Vador in that get-up.
Here is Renee in action. It took me about a zillion pictures to actually get her somewhat centered...she was just going to fast for my shutter speed!
Renee had a bunch of support, the loudest cheering section of the day! Here is Katie giving her splits and Mark taking pictures of her...I bet his turned out a bit better than mine! If it was a popularity contest Renee would have won. In the end I believe she got the silver medal...second to Dark Vadar.
