Capon Ridge Running Camp 2012

Just arrived back from another great year of Capon Ridge Running Camp, sponsored by Nike. Lots of great kids and great teams came up this year, and we grew by about 20 campers, which is always fun.  In honor of the Olympics, our camp activities and games had an Olympic theme, complete with flags, and my forcing the counselors to sing the Olympic anthem again and again, which was hilarious to me, at least.  Nike also generously supported us again, bring us some awesome samples and information about the Flywire and Flyknit shoes and spikes that they are unveiling at the Olympics in London.  Really cool stuff.

I pretty much failed to take pictures this year, partially because I was working with campers on stretching most of the time, or yelling at Larry, and partially because I forgot my camera.  As I come across photos and video, I will see about posting them, but below are the photos of the actors who played certain roles, with their namesakes:

The Mikes. note the tattoos, belts as stand-ins for HR monitors, and various therapy equipment as apparel.  Mac (to my left) managed to look so creepily like me that my wife was somewhat bothered by it.

The Larrys, including Ransom's interpretation of Larry as an evil wizard with a cape.

Foley and his double, who put his goldfish tattoo in a more appropriate spot than Foley himself did.

 I am already looking forward to next year, and hope everyone returns for another year of running in the ridiculously steep hills of Yellow Springs, WV.
