At the Club Fat Ass Steering Committee meeting last night, we noticed that 75% of the people in attendance were either running in the Knee Knackering North Shore Trail run or volunteering for the race.
This got us to thinking: "How may people associated with the 2011 Knee Knacker are current or former Club Fat Ass members?" Then we thought, "Wouldn't it be cool to recognize those special people in some special way?"
Answering these questions became a mighty distraction for our meeting. The answer was quite a shock, too.
This year, 200 applications were selected from the Knee Knacker lottery. As best we could tell, 89 of those who are registered for the race are, or have been, Club Fat Ass members. To that count, we tried to identify the CFA members who were volunteering in some way to support the race. That gave us an additional 13. Wow! We gave up at trying to figure out how many Knee Knackers have been run by Fat Asses and friends over the years...
So, to recognize the Fat Ass contingent, we thought that we'd have a family photo at the start and challenge current and former CFA members to wear their favorite club colours.
Given the race starts promptly at 6:00 and there will be important announcements you will want to hear, we will aim to take the photo at 5:40.
Bring a big smile to the photo... and Run, Fat Ass, run!
