I don't mind the cold or the snow.

It's the slush that sucks.

I've never run that race.

You should, although instead of slush, you run through cold streams.

Depends, is PLF a Shirt or a Skin?

I see your point. Give me some assurance that I'm not getting ass-fvcked in an edge-of-the-Empire garrison town, then II.

I am not an active member of any organised religion, but if I were, it would likely be a different one than Tebow (who I had to google to figure out who he was), and I don't follow college football, or any American football, although if I did, any Florida team (excepting the Dolphins) would be at the bottom of my list, no offence, however, I am pro-expression, whatever the message, and if I were Tebow, I would get the verse tattooed on my forehead (with a temporary tattoo, but I would lie and claim it was real, cuz that;s how I roll), and then I would hold a press conference and tell all the h8ers to go fuck themselves. And if Florida benched me, I'd go pro, and if the NFL shunned me, I'd go to the WFL or USFL or the European leagues or something. Eat that!

I crossed a river 13 times (up to my waist) while hiking in the Smokies in January in '98. Almost went hypothermic. Good times!

Uh, carry on.

Those Santa Ana winds have you acting all craaaaazy!

What if it was Sophia Loren's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother with a strap on and an intent to reach around?

And I would apologize about any confusion. Then there would be another big controversy when word got about about that huge number of virgins I had deflowered (sts) in the days and weeks after the game. But I'm sure I would have some other excellent explanation to cover that. It's really too bad that I am not much of an athlete, now that I think about it.

You could nickname yourself "De Flower," etc.

eta: Nice margins, Penske.

Indeed! The course I remember only had two crossings, waist-low chest deep, but the overall flow of the race, npi, was anaerobic. It was an 8k. No time to go hypothermic.

27 and a bunch of change, although I got me arse handed to me by more than a couple of highschool cross country kids.

It was, however, a long time ago.

My trainer is doing the Tough Guy race next year. It looks tolerable, except for the sub-arctic looking water.
