You can't possibly know that....I haven't confirmed my entry yet.

However misplaced it might be.

That boot was made for winnin'
And that’s just what I’ll do
One of these days that boot
Will be handed to me from you

I missed a lot of action today. I am not surprised that Jack is scared of Mark

Mark if you are brave enough you should throw the shallonge at David (dgrant) and not frighten the weak players , although be careful if you planning anything important after those trail races, injuries are just a natural part of those events.

LOL!!!!

Just don't run any trail races before ITT - it is easy to break legs in some of those - I want you fresh and ready on August 21.

Stupid question time... What is a shallonge?

You're mother was a hamster......wait, thats another thread altogether...LOL!!

I'm going to run the Rattlesnake race. Let me come up with some appropriate trash talk after I do a search of the results of the main contenders. Rookies must be careful.
Also, I heard Lisa talking about running a daycare for the day. That will be perfect for those who (a) have to bring their kids, or(b) get beaten so badly that they need to be comforted like a baby.
And for the correct pronunciation of "Shallonge" see this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uLapzxU ... re=related

I believe the "Shallonge"...RM style was introduced at ATB 2007..am I right?

not quite! it was the paris half in 2006 (then continued at ATB in 2007!)

the 'original' RM shallonge was coined after the cosby show "shallonge" clip.

to which Lightning replied:

Lightning wrote:Touche, dear Kmiklos...as they said on the Cosby show:

Challenge! (pronounced Shallonge!) Oooo...did I just date myself???

Paris Grand Half marathon 2006 Lightning vs Ultraqueenga is the first reference I can find.

Pat - let me know when you are done your research. Do you have kids?

As mentioned on Mark's log...Hula Girl does not officially endorse trail shallonges for triathletes. But accepts the fact that boys seem to enjoy pissing contests

Who is actually in for the Rattlesnake race?

1Ironatatime

I was registered but had to switch to Terra Cotta

I can't make it.

Is a Shallonge determined by quickest result - or is it by post-race MVP vote of participants, where going off-course, fallng down repeatedly or getting arrested might be as big a hit with voters as a quick time?

Just curious.

As they only one to actually show up at the race today, I claim the victory.

The only one? BJH and runningwild were there at least, weren't they?

They weren't in ths schallonge (as far as I know)

I didn't realize there was a shallonge; who shallonged who?
