THE PICNIC

  • Photo 41:  Our Social Director James Siegel had scheduled for a team picnic after this race.  Unfortunately, someone else in higher authority scheduled pouring rain today.  At first, we thought we would have our picnic underneath the NYRRC registration tent, but it was taken away soon.
  • Photo 42:  So we relocated to the North Meadow Recreational Center underneath the roof.  Although James Siegel had said, "I think there will only be three people", our last-minute plea brought thirty-three people to come over in the rain.
  • Photo 43:  Our photographic work must be said to be spotty today due to the pouring rain during and after the race.  Still, we had flashes of brilliance as is this photo of Stephanie Gould looking for water in the rain.  On this day, Stephanie said, "Look!  I'm not wearing my oversized grey Powerbar 20 Miler t-shirt!"  Great, so she wears a sleeveless grey shirt and we missed her once again during the race ...  how about some orange next time?
  • Photo 44:  Food, food, food ...
  • Photo 45:  The contrarian kids Joey and Sammny Ruben try to look for more water.
  • Photo 46:  The kids get ready to go home.  "Wet?  We're not wet!"
