You, the judges, have spoken...we now have winners in the 2005
Traveling Colours Contest!
1st - Gary Robbins of Squamish, BC took top spot with the
photo (see #22 below) of his exuberant finish at the 50km Knee Knacker North Shore Trail Run
last July. Gary will receive a refund on his 2006 membership dues and eternal
bragging rights.
2nd - Robbins also took second place with his exposed rear
end at the Cape Spear. He officially becomes the first athlete to take a gold
and a silver in the same event while being censored!
3rd - Glenn Pace's photo of his finish at the Western
States 100 Mile Run took the bronze. Glenn will receive a cozy hoodie from
North Shore Athletics to keep him warm at the end of his next 100-miler.
4th/5th - Ellie Greenwood at 5647m on Kala Patthar in
Nepal's Everest region tied with Fred Wickens fighting the big fat-bottomed
troll under a bridge near Seattle.
Congrats Gary, Glenn, Ellie, Fred and to all Club members who submitted
photos of their blue club t-shirt in action!

| # 3 This just in from Ellie Greenwood of Britain: "Well my fat Ass T-shirt
has done quite a bit of traveling since I left Vancouver in April. I
spent the summer working in Norway but these photos are from my recent
3 week trek to Nepal. It was a fab trip, where I was trekking in the
Everest region. The trekking was not too hard as we were going so
slowly due to the altitude, averaging 3900m but getting to a peak of
5647m! This photo is at that peak - called kala patthar which overlooks
Everest base camp and the big peak in the background is Everest itself!
maybe a future fat ass event doing the everest marathon which goes
from base camp to a place called Namche bazaar, but given the record
by a Sherpa is over 7 hours it might be a challenging one! | # 3 - Ellie Greenwood in Nepal

Park, barely visible as line of trees to the right in south looking photo, red
dot on map. Red line on map was my run one morning, Y-shaped out & back to a
few different lakes. Gravel road also barely visible in photos. Overview photo
(with mandatory Tee) taken from Dry Falls visitor center above canyon. | # 14 - Rick Arikado |
