Our First Fundraiser
On Saturday, January 30th, 2010, Mike and I had our first fund raising activity at Mid Atlantic Erg Sprints. The Erg Sprints were held at TC Williams High School in Old Town Alexandria. We put up a table with our banner and did our best to get people interested in our $5 ticket raffle for a Nielsen Kellermen Stroke Coach and a Kestrel Wind Meter. We had a bucket representative of our ‘loo’ (our toilet) on our table, in which we put purchased raffle tickets, and from which we had our drawing. Was that too gross???
Congratulations go to Bill Yeingst and Phil Hayward for winning both of these items. We were able to award the NK Stroke Coach yesterday to Bill Yeingst, but are still trying to track Phil Hayward down in order to get him the Wind Meter.
James participated in the Men’s 40+ 2k and managed a third place finish, even though he was not happy with his time of 6:47.8. Two years ago he pulled a 6:32 so the slow down in time is a bit discouraging especially since he just turned 40. Time, after all, is only in the head.
