    Arvada, CO--Ending months of speculation, Khalid Khannouchi has challenged Art Siemers to a winner-take-all $1 million challenge over the unorthodox half-marahon distance. In a contest reminiscent of the Donovan Bailey/Michael Johnson 150-meter race, Special K will attempt to end speculation about the Arvadan Assassin's superiority. As the reigning champion, the Assassin has choice of the course and has decided to stage the race along 93 from Arvada to Boulder, finishing with the last 800 meters on the partially resurfaced Potts track. Finally, the sporting community will have some resolution to this perennial debate and this commentator for one has his money on AA.

    Guys enough with the sarcasm. I'm just a middle school math teacher and college coach, who love to run and train hard.

    Live from Metro Denver:

    Despite reported postings of humility from the famed Art Siemers, local Boulder COunty residents are eagerly awaiting the "Showdown in the Snowdown". The early Vegas line is 5:4 in favor of Khannouchi, but with heavy wagering out of the Rocky Mountain region the line may shift later today. The consensus is that Siemers knowledge of traffic patterns on the always dangerous I-93 will give him the advantage he needs. Locals remember last years "Debacle at Dowdy Draw" where "the Busboy" was tragically flattened by an 18 wheeler attempting to cross I-93 in pursuit of Sumo Matt.

    Art is a humble guy. He never said he was the Bomb! I love to run against him and we always talk before and after the races. He has never mentioned anything about what some of you guys are talking about.

    I know Art very well, and this thread is getting out of hand. I remember when Art was first running post-collegiately. He struggled with longer races, and was always willing to compliment runners that were beating him, which for a time I was one of them. He was always looking for ways to improve and made a big committment when he left to Colorado. At the time it seemed like a crazy move. Give him credit he stuck with his plan and has gradually been improving over the years, and now can put Olympic Trials Qualifier by his name. Good work Art!

    Staff Report:

    Khalid Khannouchi has requested the venue be moved to the Boulder Creek Path. Apparently there is a large Moroccan populace in Metro-Boulder that cannot make the trip out to I-93. A local runner named Mohammed has pledged to line the creek with at least 2 fanatical Khannouchi supporters.

    Siemers has allowed the change, but now requests that the competition includes consuming one imperial pint of lard from Jaunita's restuarant.
