I didn’t know orange was the color
of this year’s camp t-shirts when I packed my florescent orange running shirt in order to
be more visible on the narrow, winding, country roads of Ardèche, France, where
our camp is held. I also took that particular running shirt along because
orange has always been one of my favorite colors (from the time my mom first
let me pick out clothes, to the color scheme chosen for my freshman dorm
room).
I was excited to win the florescent shirt by placing in the tower race
in May because I had given away an identical shirt, won the previous year, to a
fellow orange lover. But not everyone is partial to orange. The race sponsor
told me he had got complaints about the shirt, and one of my friends said she
can hardly stand to look in my direction when I’m wearing it. At least drivers can't miss me!
Gotta run…
