With luck, it'll lead to some pretty serious herd thinning.

A 5k race? Whadda pussy.

Hey Rogers, any chance of you shooting me a DR shirt that I can wear when I go win this shit?

If I wore a DR shirt I would of course expect to be paid handsomely for it. No sense i doing free advertising for people.

Paid?

OK, seriously, I'm not going to win this. I'm in good shape and I'll likely place in my age group but there is going to be somone who runs it in about 15 minutes. I can't touch that, I'll take about 6 or 8 more minutes to finish. I'm not trying to get paid though, only have a good time and not ruin one of my shirts. ;')

Looks like fun. Wish I was in good enough shape to run it. I'd kick out at about 1/2k.

Any prizes for dead last? LOL!

"Any prizes for dead last? LOL!"

I am sure there is. I mean, they use the metric system for crying out loud, they must be socialist, everyone wins!

You are only competing against yourself. You set a goal, in this case to finish the race, when you do finish it -- even if you crawl over the line -- you acheived it. You won! Anyone who tells you otherwise has probably never competed at anything in their life.

Believe it or not EVERYONE cheers on and encourages EVERYONE who is running the entire time. Before it starts, as it's happening, and when it's over. This will be a little different because of the different start times, no one will be able to tell who is "last" as it's being ran. At every race I've ever ran in the biggest applause is for the person who crosses the line last. I've seen the guy who finishes "last" carried off the course like he was the MVP of the super bowl.

The cool thing about being last.....only one person can pull it off.

If K meant kegs I'd be there, but what would the rest of youse drink?
