There were 16 total entrants. So, I went to Random.org & asked for a number between 1 & 16.
Number 10 is Laura E.
Laura – you have until noonish on Saturday to email me your mailing address. You can get in touch with me at gazellesoncrack (at) gmail.
Congratulations!
Now – what you DIDN’T know, is that there is a 2nd prize! The 2nd place winner also gets a slightly less elaborate gift basket – and the second place winner is:
CilleyGirl! Congrats! And, since you do not live far away, if you don’t mind, I’ll present your gift basket in person. If I work REALLY hard, it will be ready by Sunday morning & I can give it to you at the race.
So – congrats, winner! And Laura – please contact me as soon as possible.
Just like in kickball, all the kids around me get picked.

You are a previous winner of a GOC contest, though, right?
That counts for something!
Christine reply on December 10th, 2009:
Yes but,
//whiny girl voice// That was a LONG TIME AGO!!! //end whiiny girl voice//
And don’t even THINK about getting that t-shirt back. It is officially my favorite t-shirt ever!
I won! I won! I won! You like me, you really like me!!
Seriously tho, this is the first time I’ve ever won anything in a giveaway. I’m so excited!
Amy, Sunday at the race would be great. Don’t sweat getting it done though, ideally when you meet me in person tomorrow you won’t hate me and I’ll actually see you again after Sunday
Yay!!!!
Dammit! I missed it…typical me.
dang. missed another one. oh well, have a great day gazelle!

apparently you missed my comment on your blog that you can have the consolation prize of one free Triathlete’s training bible (or whatever it’s called – I’m too lazy to look it up right now) if you send me your address. Don’t you even read your comments?
i did see you comment, and emailed my address back to your gazzelles on crack @ gmail address. however, it must not have reached you. i’ll facebook it to you.
and thanks again, that’s wonderful!
