Name three things that, if you were to challenge anyone in the world in, you could at least win one.
For me:
1. Steeple: 8:55 PR
2. Free Throws: I once made 97 of 100. I'm money.
3. Scrabble. English major, nuff' said. I'll spank ya.
Good runners who could steeple faster than 8:55 probably can't drill freethrows or win at scrabble. Scrabble geeks who could beat me handily most likely can't run under 9:00.
Get it? Let's here some more.
I have a good friend who, while I don't think he has actual ran an 8:55 steeple, has probably run an equivalent time in another event, and has gone 50-50 from the free throw line on multiple occasions. While I can't say whether or not he would beat you at scrabble, and I'm sure that as you say you are pretty good, my point is that because out of all the people in the world, I know someone who could probably match you in two out of three, I'm going to go ahead and say there is someone out there who is probably better than you at all three. Sorry to burst your bubble, but your "skills" just aren't difficult or eclectic enough. Fact.
