Today was Race to the Hills at Lake Hope! Mer helped organize
the race, and I went as a photographer. Mike Brown helped me
find good spots to take pictures, since he wasn't racing. He
was, however, in charge of one of the cowbells! Several race
volunteers carried cowbells to ring as racers rode past. It
was fun and exciting!
At some point during the race, I swore I heard a cat meowing.
We were way out in the woods, though! I was like, "are there
cat birds in Ohio?" Later when we went back up to the water
station, Christina and Tina had a little kitten! They had heard
meowing too, and called "Kitty kitty kitty!" and he came tearing
out of the woods!
He was tiny and skinny and hungry. They fed him some leftover
Casa and he chowed down! Some jerk must have dumped him out
of their car. We took him down to the finish line with us,
and almost as soon as we got there someone said they wanted
him. Yay! He was the cutest. So yeah, there was some bike racing
and stuff but ALSO, there was a KITTEN.
