PAX: Greenspan, Palin, Hitman, Mongoose, Manscape, BALCO, Winklevoss, Suede, Zima (Q)

Olympic fever has swept through the tiny breakaway nation of the Republic of F3.  The 9 PAX who posted this morning were vying to qualify for the next Olympiad in the track events.  Unfortunately due to scheduling and track time, the events were all stacked on top of each other.

 

WARM-O-RAMA.

1600 meters on the track.

 

BEATDOWN.

Run 50 meters.  Recover 50 meters.

Run 100 meters.  Let lactic acid build up.

Run 200 meters.  Recover 200 meters.

Run 400 meters.  Pile on that lactic acid.

Run 800 meters.  Recover 400 meters.

 

Goal: repeat 5 times

Reality: repeat 2 times (major Q misjudgement)

 

DONE.

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • Shmedfest: August 27-28.

 

NAKED MAN MOLESKIN:

  • All of the F3 athletes qualified at the Olympic time trials (round 1).
  • Everyone ran hard in the preliminaries (round 2), but were sadly defeated before advancing (read: ran out of time for subsequent rounds) by a suspect group of runners from the ROC.  Allegations of blood doping were rampant.
  • The Q planned the morning extremely poorly as the group was not able to reach the quarters, semis, or finals of any event.  I WAY underestimated the time it would take to run each heat.  #TooMuchRest? #NewPlanNextTime
  • One runner asked if he could smoke pot before the 100 meter dash, then proceeded to smoke the rest of the field instead.
  • One runner wanted to drop out and stay in the parking lot to deal with personal mental health issues.  He ended up medaling in the final event.
  • The uniforms were probably not IOC approved.
  • Nobody tripped anyone.
  • The Opening Ceremony committee denied BALCO’s request to oil himself up and carry the flag while shirtless wearing only a grass skirt.

 

PRAYERS:

  • many silent; none spoken

 

Greenspan took us out.
