Who's the fastest runner?

[Chris_P]

So I've been listenting to SomaCow since there were only two digits in the episode number.  Just to break down the fourth wall, I send the occasional emails to the guys.  Yes, they don't bite, unless you put your hand in between Geoff and some beefs. 

And while I truly love these guys like brothers, I can also dish it out.  It all started with J claiming there is no chocolate in tootsie rolls.  I came out guns blazing.  Then I realized that J just has his head up his ass and spews nonsense on a weekly basis, and it's up to us to find his bullshit fact of the week. 

So since I live in the the Small Wonder, aka Delaware, I was not in town when the CFTR came about.  But in among all the events going on, Ross claimed he could outrun anybody, anywhere.  Like he's the 2nd coming of Jessee Owens.  Just more fuel for our fun little rivalry.  So I called him out.  Let's take this to the next level.  Forget the 0.05K, let's bump it up to 5K.  Hell, doesn't this fit in with the 1000 lb. challenge?  (Yes, I don't forget bits.)

Words were exchanged, and I did the Bobby Flay Throwdown, well, without showing up in person.  Find a sanctioned race, and the fastest time wins.  We both found one this past weekend.  Results have not been released.

Exact terms of the bet could not be finalized.  I said I could send down local Philly favorites, Tastykakes and Wawa coffee, but Ross is of the school that Tastykakes are a so-called inferior product.  (Gee, less preservatives are a bad thing?)  And he'll just salt the Wawa dark roast.  (Yes, I haven't forgotten that one either.  I could be an unofficial show historian.)  AND he said that nobody does food bets any more.  Well, all mayors/governors do, except for his con mayor. 

Mickey suggested loser leaves twitter, but Ross quits twitter all the time, and he's back within days.  Just like somebody trying to quit smoking. 

Although I cannot find in my notes, I think t-shirts or the touristy souvenirs of the like would work.  I think it was mentioned on the show that you can hit the 10/$1 t-shirt store and send up all kinds of junk. 

Now while Ross quits on twitter all the time, I've embraced it, to the extent that I found my 5K via twitter.  Dogfish Head Beer had a 5K in Slower Lower Delaware, and free beer at the finish line.  Perfect for me.

Ross asked for an on-air apology from me if I were to lose, but I doubt that will happen. 

So, Ross, my friend, any comments before we exchange times?

I still think Ross made it 168ft, then collapsed grasping his chest thru his Small t-shirt before stroking out....

I ran my 5K in 35:30, but it is irrelevant. I win either way.

[Chris_P]

How do you figure you win either way?

[ELROSS]

How do you figure you win either way?

You are officially the King of Not Posting a Time. Seriously, you kill at it.

[Chris_P]

26:39

Count it.

[ELROSS]

26:39

Count it.

I doubt it, but whatever. I win either way because we were supposed to race on 9/26 and your ass did not even finish until sunday morning! I beat you by something like 24 solid hours.

[Chris_P]

I so wanted to wait until Friday so I could see your reaction on the u-stream.  I beat you by a near ten minutes. 

It's not my fault I can't read a calendar.  Hardly got any sleep the night before, never ran a 5K before (on my own, or in an organized race), and I smoked you.  And I'm older than you. 

food bets are played out. even the mayors don't do them anymore. I am thinking more of an on-Air admission that you got beat. a sincere one, if such a thing is possible from you. Got anything to match?

Your words, not mine.

Wow, not I see what J is talking about.

Calendars are WAY easier than clocks, how am I supposed to believe your "time"? Twenty Six HOURS is suspiciously close to what your time would have been if you started Saturday like you claimed.....

And what is that quote supposed to prove again? Yeah, that was one of the MANY attempts I made to try to make a bet with you. Too bad for your alledged time you never agreed to any terms.

[Chris_P]

My wife was there.  She didn't expect me to finish so quickly, she missed me coming across the finish line. 

I'm also frantically checking the internets several times a day to find the official results.  Looks like they finally posted the 10K results.  Hopefully they'll have the 5K soon.

I believe that like you believe I met Shaq.


Honestly, Women, Children, The Elderly, A Firefighter in full gear....the number of folks who whupped my ass in this 5K is staggering, you ain't special.

Over 164 Feet at The Cure for the Run, however, I am, and remain, UNTOUCHABLE! *see avatar*

The avatar where you look like you're tripping over your own two feet?

That's my twitter avatar and it is POST fall.

Perhaps Geoff would like to reconsider?

Time to get a trophy and send it 1000 miles up 95.
