So this is a little late, but I did it. I did it I ran and in a quite an impressive time considering the last two months is the most I have run damn near ever in a year. I hardly ever run and I did do training for it though I didn't have a lot of time to train up for it. But here is the run down...
For the costumes, the night before the bunch of us after the pub decided to go get costumes. We hit up Urban something to get the costumes. We decided on short boxer briefs in a light blue cause there was enough of them at that store for use to each get one. Then we choose to get the wife beaters in Brazil colours. I have to mention we all went to Sportcheck and got socks, however the next day I was the only one to have the sock stuffed with plastic Safeway bags, and garbage bags and taped together to make it longer and better. In short none of the other guys were man enough to man up, which was a shame because it got a lot of good attention. It worked great when running, one end in the shorts, helping the bulge, the other end around my neck and pinned to my chest to hold it in place. It was kinda nice, cause I could roll my head back rest on it. We each put nicknames on the back of our shirts with the team name. My name was "LOVE SAUSAGE!!!"
Other costumes were great. The most notable was the guy in (1) the jock strap and only the jock strap with his ass hanging out. (2) The other which was the best costume in the male category was the guy in the Borat costume. You know the one, the swimsuit onsy. The best part was after he won, the buffed up host was asking if he stuffed his suit and Borat goes to tell how he didn't and grabs his crotch and then grabbed the hosts crotch to ask if he did... Then the host got uncomfortable. The best part was how well Borat stayed in character. He carried a briefcase and at the end of the day after they fed us burgers, on the way to the bathroom I saw the Borat shovelling burgers into his briefcase. It was hilarious.
Oh and a friend of mine Courtney, and her mom was there. Here mom won best costume for female as she was dressed as a hot dog, and was tossing hot dog gummies into the crowd as a sort of hot dog fairy. It was sweet.
The run was good. It was a rainy morning but then a hot afternoon and a warm evening. Not ideal for a run in my opinion but tolerable none the less. Of the bunch of us on the team I was at the back by the end, completing the run in an hour and 3 minutes. Not too bad.
The only thing that really went to pot were the pictures. After the race the race we b lined it to the car to get the beer tickets but something we forgot was our cameras. Here's the issue too, a lot of people enjoyed the fact I had the Love Sausage. Made for a lot of great poses too with a lot of girls. They came up and asked for pictures and I was happy to oblige. But we used their cameras so of course, I don't have any evidence of this other then my word. Next time, I will definitely have a camera with me.
Of course after the rest of the boys saw all the attention I was getting, they were kicking themselves, especially the single ones for not packing their socks. Lesson learned rookies... Lesson learned
Here is my boss with a care bear!
