Judging an Apple Pie Contest

After working the start line at the Head of the Anacostia, Dougie, Masood, and I were to judge an apple pie contest. At first I thought it was judging a pie eating contest, then I told we were doing the eating, but not for speed. Then I was told we were judging the pies, not competitive eating. Then I was told it was only 3 pies. Here's the 19 pies that we had to judge.


They were judged on appearance, crust and filling. The winner gets this trophy. The winners of the rowing race got, well, everybody got homemade "participant pins".


Masood says he's never eaten so many pies in so little time.
