It’s all about the equipment
My esteemed editor at CityBeat, Dave Rolland, ran his first 5k today. He announced his results on his Facebook page:
“My time was 26:12 (8:26 minutes per mile). I came in 171st overall (out of 1,217). I was 15th in my age/gender group (out of 39). And I think I was the only dude running in cargo shorts.”
I am very proud of Dave but have to question his choice of attire. Cargo shorts? Fine for hiking the Uintas or just shopping around at R.E.I, but not exactly built for aerodynamics. I’m certain if he’d worn the proper clothing, he could have shaved minutes from his time.
Something like this could have seen him place in the top three overall.
Maybe next time, Dave. Maybe next time.

Oh those “nutty” Europeans.
My eyes! I think this is called hysterical blindness! And for thirty seconds, I thought it was a woman. With enormous labia. I can’t decide if that would have been better or worse.

When you described this yesterday as “his balls were hanging out,” I really thought you were speaking figuratively.
Thank you. This made my day.
Oh, now this is lovely.
Aaaah! Now how do I remove that image from my brain?! Gah.
I don’t know whether to laugh or scream. In fright..
Oh eew! I thought it was a woman too and I was So confused for a minute. Blech!
Okay I DID NOT need to see this. And now that I’ve seen it, I can’t unsee it.
