It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I figured I might need to explain my avatar.
That is not me in those shorts. I did receive a pair of cutoffs signed by Chris Eatough which is a pretty cool story. Fellow Lumberjacks Mark J. and Mitch M. set it all up and made it happen. I also think one of them changed my avatar in reference to the cutoffs. Sneaky guys.
The story on the cutoffs come from my first Lumberjack attempt where I missed the 75 mile "cut - off" by 3 minutes. The next year I was visiting with Chris Eatough (really!) the day before the race. He asked me how I did the previous year and I told him I just missed the 75 mile cut-off. He looked me straight in the eye and responded, "There's a cut off for this?"
At any rate, when Mitch and Mark heard this, they giggled alot.
So, in the past 6 months, they decided they would send off a pair of cutoffs to Chris Eatough and ask him to sign them for me. He sent it back and they presented it to me last night at spin class.
The leg of the denim shorts says,
"Tim, Good Luck with the "cut offs"! Chris Eatough"
Pretty cool, huh?
Stay warm,
Tim Riekena
