The JGST is in less than 2 weeks - that's Saturday March 17th.
At one point, I lobbied the powers that be to name this event the STJG (Short Track James Gist) because I thought it would make it sound Euro.
The Grand Prix Miguel Indurain
The Criterion Du Dauphine
Etc. Where the race category precedes the namesake.
But then I was reminded that this race also coincides with St Patricks Day, and for $20 you can both race and fill your belly with green beer, and that any notion of European Class should be quashed right from the very start.
And We Like It That Way.
So then, let's rally, O'Malley.
After all, it's a fundraiser. And our cause, The Gist Family, once famously won the costume contest at the Paranormal when they came dressed as Obama vs. Hillary Clinton. Johanna also famously killed it a different year with a deadpan impersonation of Richard Pence, hair and all. Point being that real class also sometimes dresses it up a little, and that is what we intend to do in this case.
Course preview? Coming soon. Will it be helmet-cam footage of McCardell, dressed as a leprechaun, throwing huge tail whips through fresh cut loam?
Sign up - as I may have said before, and then tune back in to find out.
And up and up and up.
