Adele Haters & Ex-Boothers"...

ONE LAST TRI VIII – One can learn much about people by watching them at races. Here are some of our observations at Sunday’s One Last Tri: Sarah Virkle hates Adele. Really, truly hates her. More than Congress, even. Vicki Ostendorf wears her baseball cap on backwards yet adamantly denies being a member of a gang.

I felt I had put in enough time to give it a shot.
