Running Mania

Is the Shallonge open to anyone?...I ran at Rattlesnake Point.

Maybe someone who's been around here longer than me should chime in (please someone confirm or correct), but my understanding goes like this:

One or more person(s) shallonges one or more other person(s) i.e. throw out the shallonge. A specific race and the terms of victory are proposed, such as first across the line, closest to predicted time, biggest PB improvement, etc.

The other person(s) accept the shallonge and/or other interested folks could join in; if no one accepts I believe there is no shallonge but could be wrong on that point.

There is a mandatory period of good-natured trash talk in the race thread.

The race is run and spoils to the victor.

I believe that Doonst threw a shallonge earlier in this thread to me, airforcerunner, casual_runner, and ironboy for the ITT race, but I don't think anyone has accepted yet.

yeah it has to be called before the race! :)

Yeah its all about the trash talk! Its why we do it. But it is not just the fastest maniac at any given race, or Robbie-T would spoil everything.

Ironboy has signed up for ITT, and Casual has it listed in his SIG. So bring it, goatface. If you dare.

Forgive me, muffins, I forgot to make it clear this was a continuation of the trash talk. Shheesh.

They are all afraid of the Doonst! Doonst you have them quaken' in their trail shoes.

Anyone want to take a 30min head start?

Alright then...first the Shallonge challenge then the trash....then some more trash( mix, repeat) then spoils to the victor...if only politics were this simple.

So what's it gonna be boys? Anybody still up for this? Or maybe your mommies won't let you do such a scary race!!

If I can free up the calendar then I would be happy to win your Trophy! Shalllllonnnggee!!!!! Your mothers smell of elderberrys!!! I spit in your general directions!!!!!!

At Terra Cotta, BJH in awe of the shallonge trophy, which Doonst will take to the ITT!

So....the trail Shallonge has grown stale of late. Who has it, where is it, and where is the next venue?

With Albion Hills fast approaching, and an attendance list building, could be a good venue to revive this silliness.

I believe Doonst has it (evidence two posts up) who was taking it to ITT and the Hamiburton but I don't know if it went anywhere after that.

I think it was last spotted at the end of Doonst's driveway. If you contact him, he might be able to pull it in before pickup day.

I have it yes! (I forget why?) You'll have to earn it though, trash talk freely!

I shallonge daddy_runner to see who gets back to 50 miles first! lol

How's that going?

I have my first post-injury 50 miler coming up! May 11, unless dwayne_runs_far moves it due to flooding (unlikely).

Dang. Got moved to June 1st.

What's going on with this? No posts since last year? Does Doonst still have the trophy?
