came on here to confirm a story...more of a legend.
Did Max King really pin a race bib number to his chest(bare skin)for a race?

BUMP
Nope that is not even remotely true.
He just clipped it to his nipple rings
from what I've heard it was a race in Ithaca where he did indeed do it shirtless with the bib pinned to his bare chest. It was raining like crazy and I believe he even slid on said chest through the mud and across the line
YES! I knew someone on here would be able to shed light on this legend.
Next question.
Max King and 2 other elite runners have been picked to join
an elite special forces group. Someone (even of elite dist. runner stature) that could carry an extra 40 lbs. over a long distance.
Name the other 2 (Jason Rexing does not count):

What in tarnation are you talking about?
This is true; 100%. It was December 2001 or 2002; Dining Hall Classic 5k (+6 meals). Max pinned his number through the skin on his chest. He was not wearing much else; just enough to get into the dining halls without being arrested. I believe he ran under 30 minutes for the 5k plus the 6 meals; all meals included an entree, drink and dessert.
