"Sissies"? So you're 32+ years old and still use 5th grade insults? Why not just say that it's for "fags"??
Sea-level is for sissies! I've run at altitude for 32 years, and it hasn't killed me. Ever heard of the Bolder Boulder? Elites run it every year. Why is a race at altitude "dumb"?
Oh, that's right - runners who train at altitude have an unfair advantage, whether the race is at altitude or at sea level. So, why race at all? Sea-level athletes don't stand a chance, at least from your point of view.
We're all really happy for you and very impressed by you, tell us more.
The race should be held in Eugene before the Trials start. You wouldn't have the national class guys, but all of us fans could race then watch the big boys fight for a spot on the Oly team.
The prizes should be gold plated douchbags since that term is tossed around so often in this forum.
I like that idea. There are also 2 days in the middle of the trials that are off-days. I think they are July 1 and 2.
Assuming there was enough advance notice to get cheap plane/train tickets I would pay for travel anywhere in the continental US. If it was organized properly we could probably get a group rate in a hotel to make it more reasonable (unless it's going to be in Eugene at OT time).
I'd vote for 10k xc or track meet of multiple events.
I'd be willing to help coordinate and plan.
This is a great idea. Certainly we can do it on one of the MORNINGS of the trials in Eugene. Not everyone would be there BEFORE the trials, and some of us will want to take off for the two days BETWEEN trials events (Bend?). No Lake Tahoe this year. One of the FEW drawbacks of Eugene over Sacramento.
Only problem with Eugene is that there aren't any more hotel rooms avaiable...if there are let me know.

We could just compromise and have a letsrun.com beer mile. That reminds me..my birthday is July 2.
i'd suggest a naked beer mile
but i think 80% of the people are dudes, so lets stick to beer
by the way, i've never lost a beer mile
but this would be the most competitive beer mile ive ever been in
No one would actually tell people their screen names. No way at all.
However, it would be great fun to lie and tell people you were another poster.
I'd definately make the trip north to Eugene to run a road race.
How many fights would break out? Or would people ask like respectable humans in person.
The thought of this is simply crazy.
we should have a woodstock of running where we all just camp out at night and run a race during the day. then we all get hammered at the after party. hotels wont be a problem and it will be very cheap to host.

i actually think this is the best idea so far.
I still want to know if txRUNNERgirl can party? That will be my deciding factor if I run the race.

My friend I'm staying with has a large backyard...
If it's in Eugene, I'll race anyone in anything from 100 to the marathon. I'll also tell you my real screename.
