You would think that as a teammate of Josh McDougal you wouldn't be expecting to win the race. I personally know him (I run with these guys) and he's one of those guys who does the backflips, juggles, rides a unicycle, you know all those things that normal people can't do. He's crazy like all XC runners should be.

Here lies the response to all the threads that ask why running isn't popular, why they don't make running movies, etc...

Wasn't it Penn Gillette who said he was really into juggling, unicycles, magic, etc., and then suddenly one day it struck how incredibly uncool he was and that this may have had something to do with why he was unpopular with girls? Maybe running blocks that moment of sudden self-awareness.

Again, you can't say that unless you know him personally. This guy has no trouble when it comes to the ladies, and before you even say it, no, it's not because he's gay.
He has no trouble with the ladies and he goes to Liberty.
Ok, what does that mean?
On any given night he might get to hold a girls hand. He has held more than 25 different hands so far. He once held two hands at once. One time, he met a complete stranger, and within 5 minutes he was holding her hand.
Yeah, those Liberty kids really take down women.
Dude, hand holding rules.
This has got to go up for the funniest comment of the year nice work chap
how seriously is one taking a race if he looks like that?
I'm sure some letsrun geek will reply with some example of someone who ran well and looked ridiculous but for the most part if you show up to a race and look like an absolute jacka$$ like that dude then you are not taking the race seriously... and you will run shitty.
How did the guy run anyway?

Ryan Deak won a race in a spiderman costume.
Of course he lost his superpowers and tanked his marathon.
Not nearly as funny as the real brawn, me.
I posted the first comment, about holding hands. I don't get who this guy is going around posting under my name, as this crappy spiderman shit wasn't my post. I'm gonna register.
Christian Hesch ran USATF's in boardshorts. Who cares if people wanna have some fun with the race, stop taking yourself so seriously.
I don't care about what the dude was wearing or how he shaved, I was just making fun of the comment from the person that said he had no trouble with the ladies.
It was just funny to me, that he goes to Liberty and has no trouble with the ladies. Refer to my first post.

I happen to think that the competitors at the NCAA regionals should be taking the race somewhat seriously. I am hardly an overly serious dude but I would be annoyed if I knew my teammates were treating a big race like that as a joke. Thats just me... um, and almost everybody elso who has run at the regionals and had a chance at doing something as a team or individual.
does anyone know how the striped leg guy ran?
so did any of you other toughguys talk all this crap when your hero "fam" had that ridiculous looking mohawk? that's what i thought. shut your pieholes. more than likely, this kid would beat over half of you anyway.
mohawks are cool.
Striped legs are gay. You are gay. Calling people gay is cool.
What I'm really surprised at is how no one has mentioned the aerodynamic capacity. I'm sure this guy had at least a 2 second advantage per K, that's a couple of places at least. I don't know if I would call the guy crazy.

That is hilarious, especially "two hands at once."
I was replying to spikes, I thought the comments about holding hands and stuff were pretty funny. But how is shaving your legs in an odd way detrimental to your performance? A lot of times those things will help you relax, I don't think he decided to goof around because of his leg hair. Maybe it is all a mind game to lull his competitors into a false sense of security? If I saw someone with hair rings around his legs during a race I don't know what I'd think...
Hey i know this guy, his name is drew ponder i used to run agianst him in high school. He is a pretty cool guy. I'm glad he decided to do something different and stand out.
