EPO2 "Race in the Rain", 2-11-2005

The second EPO Event was a battle from the time the sun rose.  As a matter of fact, the sun didn’t rise; it was a dreary rainy day.  This event would separate the men from the boys.  Although 28 invites were sent out, only 16 of the 28 would show.  These 16 men demonstrated what it is to be an EPO member; strong, dedicated, determined. 

It was a cold rainy morning.  16 warriors showed up, 12 stayed at camp and refused to show; claiming that the event wouldn’t take place or it was too cold and wet.  How wrong they were.  As the no-shows cuddled with their pillows, the 16 die hard EPO members showed up and put on a magical display.  The rain didn’t let up once, nor did the competition.  Because of the constant rain, no action pictures were taken, only the trophy presentation.

The Race in the Rain

Was a bad day for action photos. The rain came down preventing the cameras from coming out.

No one had rain gear for this race. The down pour was unexpected. Thanks to the quick wits of CHEFF - A box of Hefty bags and a pair of scissors was all we needed to stay dry.

Many people in Glamis thought it was a miserable day. These EPO racers thought is was a day in Paradise.
