Goodies and Extras

Once you’ve plunked down your cash to join the Two Moon madness, you’ll need to suffer through more than a few e-mails from the Buffoon, prominent among that message traffic details about just what kind and potential colors of nifty apparel you may acquire and take home to show off to your friends/family/coffee barrister.  Perhaps, too, looking at the options for 2011, you’ll want to order extras – be good to your “people” (which term can include pets to be dressed up for ridiculous occasions like Halloween) at home, as you’ll likely need their support for more crew-dependent events elsewhere on your calendar.

The overly patient George Plomarity from Patagonia (patagonia.com/us/home)- whom you’ll see running at Two Moon in ‘11, so take advantage of that opportunity to buy him more than one beer – repeated his cordial professionalism to help decide this year’s apparel options.

Our T this year will be the Capilene 3 Midweight Zip-Neck (Styles 44441 & 44451, M & W respectively).  Planned color options are Black (Default), Light Fire and Ultramarine Blue (new ‘11 color) for Men; Alaska Blue (Default), Natural and Amaranth (new ‘11 color) for Women.  If you quickly check the Patagonia site for colors, the new ones won’t be visible for a while, so don’t get too quickly frustrated.

Our jacket will be the Nano Puff Pullover (Styles 84020 & 84025, M & W respectively).  Planned color options are Narwhal (Default), Bali Blue and Gecko Green for Men; Black (Default), Acai and Volcanic Blue for Women.  And yes, the jackets will take a stitch without compromising the integrity of the fabric.  Nifty, huh?  As such, the Vets among you already know that the stitch isn’t huge or complicated, so you’ll be sportin’ stylish garb that others will royally envy…

As with other Coyote offerings, you’ll state preference and 2nd choice, but, inventory-dependent, may end up with the Default color in both apparel items.  This is where George’s patience and cordial professionalism gets overly tested…  Once we get items screened/stitched, we’ll throw some visuals up on the site for non-players to ogle over.

And to sweeten the pot, another surprise item has already been ordered for everyone to thrill over when they dive into goodie bags.  Doesn’t that make you feel special?

Two meals are included with your entry – Friday’s pre-start lunch and Sunday’s post-finish brunch. We’re again negotiating with Boccali’s (corner of Reeve’s and 150, on your way to Thacher School) for Friday’s lunch, hoping to nab something comparable to 2010’s feast of bowtie pasta and pizza (both of which they’re VERY good at making!), plus salad, plus tea and soda.  Likely, too, they’ll offer up as an extra – yes, you’ll need to dig into your pocket – their strawberry shortcake — piled high tasty and sure to have you contemplating a second helping!  The Thacher kitchen staff will satisfy your hunger on Sunday morning with eggs in a couple different forms, pancakes, fruit, muffins, bacon, coffee, tea and OJ (the latter also available mixed w/ bubbly).  Maybe we’ll just set up a combo Boccali’s – Thacher Deli at the S/F, and watch you squirm over the conflict of eating or running!

Awards

100M finishers earn a distinctive Coyote Two Moon belt buckle. You get one, and only one, regardless of how many times you finish the event. Should you not finish the first time, your buckle will be held in reserve until the day you do finish. Beyond the dazzlingly spiffy stuff – our Sponsors are very generous!! – you’ll also get some other goodies in your entrant bag that surely will enthrall you and make you ever so gleeful that you decided to do Coyote Two Moon.

Different from many other 100’s, there won’t be any “greater value” awards for high place finishers over those who consume pretty much the whole dang allotment of time. To say, the slow folks’ money doesn’t go into a pot to insure the fastest runners walk away with big boodle. However, there likely will be other award recognition in other odd performance categories, hopefully more embarrassing than pride-filling. Ask Tetsuro Ogata about his prized hubcap, or Eric Clifton about his favorite dino…

Bowling!!

Oh, yes, we must do THIS!  What better opportunity to encourage camaraderie, revelry and blatant embarrassment all in one activity?!!?  And for the first time in Coyote Bowling History, we’ll completely fill the lanes:  12 teams of 8 nimrods each.  If you somehow missed out on getting on a team, just drop by to watch and guffaw at the foolishness!
