i think they were raising money for charity... they were collecting canned goods for the starving people in...err, you know, one of them loser countries. hehe, it was actually for a science fair foundation so your weiner kids can build crappy model solar systems and volcanoes. hey, i've got a bachelor of science degree, i support science!
anyways, i jogged the entire 5K in about 35 mins, at my slow, leisurely pace. as the race went on, some people in my pack would run really fast by me and then start walking. so i'd catch up and pass them. but they'd start running again and pass me again. this went on about 5 or 6 times. so at the end, with less than 100m to go, i sprinted to the finish line and passed them all. haha suckers! i win!
usually with these types of running events, you get a free t-shirt. which of course i'd never actually wear to the race. wearing the same t-shirt that thousands others are wearing is so not me. i run a race in style.
afterwards, we went to science world because runners get free admission. we're sitting at a puzzle table, and my boss is trying to solve a puzzle that involves 2 oddly shaped triangle blocks that you are supposed to put together to form a pyramid. he gave up after a few minutes and claimed "how the hell do you do that with only 2 pieces?". i grabbed the blocks and solved it in about 5 seconds :)
yeah, yeah, you got lucky.
