Excellent race report, El Toro. I agree with Forrest – I almost felt like I was there!

It sounds like you had an awesome race – 26th out of 1200 – I would say that is pretty darn good!

See you on Sunday!

Fascinating race report El Toro………. This group of writers does have a running problem!!!
Thanks also for volunteering to read a couple of acceptance speeches at The Pews this year!!

I want all of the Bimblers to know that the committee met again last night – we have a lot of great material this year – lots of awards – some music – thanks to DJ Mayor (he says he has a bunch of trophies for us too) – I still need more – and need more nominations!! Think back over the last year – did somebody really get to you with a post on the Bulletin Board, the final issues of the BS a special text message or blog entry?? I think there will be dancing and rhinestones too this year – SO MUCH FUNNY MATERIAL to sort through!! Thanks to you all for taking the time to write about the insanity we share collectively!

WOW El Toro, YOU ARE ON FIRRRE!!!!!! GREAT GOIN!!!! I was SOOOO picturing the guys you were talking about with the tight muscle shirts and hair who check themselves out in the gym—and who most likely dream about being on the cover of Men’s Health magazine and read it like their go to dictionary–ha!! I am REALLY looking forward to seeing how you do this SUNDAY!!!! –No pressure! ha.

Excellent placement, excellent report. Almost like being there, I just can’t quite taste the beer…

To elaborate on 2 points, I am curious, what was the ratio of “athletes” to “posers”, and men to women?

I think you had best get ready for some flack over your “but I just couldn’t let a girl beat me” at the next group run! Bimblers with a long tenure in the group know that the phrase “run like a girl” is a high compliment. If I were you, I would just fall back on the “young and foolish” alibi… Maybe throw in something about “conservative, Midwest, traditional upbringing” too.
