Imagine watching me try to doggy paddle the 1600M freestyle or a 60 year old Chinese farmer jump 10 feet in triple jump or team full of randos getting crushed by the Finnish women's volleyball team. It would be glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 1 minute ago, Refugee said: Don’t know if it was posted here but Bill Murray had a tweet saying there should always be one average Joe in each Olympic event for context. Not a bad idea for all of these weekend warriors who think they could even get through the warmup of an Olympian. ESPN has reporter Rich Eisen run the 40 every year at the combine. It’s pretty special. That might have been what I saw, it saw it posted on Reddit or something. I liked the idea for sure What does he run now? He was almost at like 7 at one time. He's raised lot of money I believe so that's awesome. I wouldn't dare try to find mine out anymore..I could never sprint always my ******* best 100 as a kid is probably slower than my 100 splits in a half. It was pathetic.

Oh my god I have friends that do Ultramarathons. They're both rail-thin and don't look a day over 35 even though we're all pushing 50.

A few years back I was leaving a store in the rain and was like "I'll run to the car!" and after about 10 steps my hammies said "oh no you won't" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my god That's some Forest Gump sh!t right there. I'm not sure running 18 hours per day, everyday, for days on end, is even healthy. Just nutty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved a storage cabinet on my deck and inadvertently tore the top off of a paper wasp nest. Inspiration! Running like a gang banger with one hand holding up my shorts. One got me in the other hand, it looks like a cartoon drawing. Would've smoked Eisen. Otherwise, as a rule, I don't run any more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to grab a stick when it moved. SNAKE!!! I zoomed out of there in a hurry. At least I did in my mind. The reality was I traveled about 10 yards in about 3 seconds while jumping in the air, then had to go to the deck and regain some strength with a cocktail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
