We had sweet, very non-winter-like weather again for the second race of the 2011-12 Winter Race Series. After a crisp upper teens start to the morning it warmed up quickly after the sun rose above the Inyo Mountains. Many folks ran in shorts and a t-shirt.
As has been the tradition since the series' inception 3 years ago we had coffee and bagels provided by Black Sheep and Great Basin Bakery, respectively. For this race we also had Thermopolis product generously donated by Asics for race winner prizes and giveaways at registration. If you are unfamiliar with the Thermopolis line of apparel by Asics, stop by the store to check it out. Some of the highlights of the line include a brushed-on-both-sides polyester/spandex blend for a super-soft feel, flatlock seam stitching to minimize chafing/skin irritation possibilities and thumbloops on the tops/arm warmers to use the sleeves as hand coverings.Thanks Asics!
This year the series is a fundraiser for the Bishop High School cross country team. We had 37 for the first race in December and 29 for yesterday's event. Not bad...but we can do better! Tell you friends and family to come out for the next race, a 10K, on Saturday, February 25th. The bigger the turnout the more we can support the team!
