Spontaneous Tick Mob |
The Umstead Marathon Tick shirt seems to be quite popular, because I keep seeing it everywhere.
Of course, it is hard to miss, as it is bright as a laser pointer shining in your eye.
This gave me an idea. What if we all wore our tick shirts to Uwharrie on Saturday? No agenda. Just a semi-spontaneous assault of neon green ticks. Call it a "Tick Mob"
Maybe it's a dumb idea, because trail runners tend to be the individualistic type, and frown on conformity.
On the other hand, we would be quite visible out in the forest. This will help the runners following us, as well as the forest rangers who will come searching for us when we get lost.

Another, even better idea is if "Tick Mob" the 2012 Umstead Marathon.
It would be a show of appreciation to the Umstead "Conclave", letting them know what a great job they do and how much we love the Tick Shirts.
So far, it's me and Josh.
Anyone else?
For those without a Tick Shirt, you may be able to still buy them from Godiva. Usually they sell them old shirts at the race.
I'm down for Tick Mob at Umstead Marathon!
ReplyDeleteDouble down for it! Hopefully it won't be too blood spattered after Uwharrie...
ReplyDeleteThat will make it easier to find my remains out there in the Uwharrie mountains, count me in.
ReplyDeleteMy tick shirt is quite pissed at me for not running Uwharrie. Guess he just want to see his old buddies!
ReplyDeleteThis this idea really gets under my skin. +1 for lime. Count me in.
