    Run two miles, eat a dozen women, run back Confused
    a true challenge no doubt. I presume the beer would enter into the picture before the event.

        it all comes back to trolls. This would be a good race series for trolls, ogres, fee-fi-fo-fum giants, and anyone else who views people as food. (the non-processed variety of 'food'. not the soylent green processed kind that trent would not consider food) Wimpy, wambly, wombly.

              It's all about endurance.

                Do people drift primarily in one direction or something?
                Yes. As everyone knows, lefties drift counter-clockwise and right handers drift clockwise - or is it the reverse? A good reason to always stay on the track. Well anyway, you can easily tell which is which by what foot a person leads off with. However eventually they will return to the starting point (as evidenced by lost hikers, etc.). Therefore, if the cheetah or whatever only pretends to chase the ostrich, but remains at the start, sooner or later the ostrich will return as a natural consequence of its leg/wing discrepancies. BTW, I myself passed three ostriches at a 5K year before last. They didn't get any closer to me than 30 feet and I left 'em in the dust! I'm just glad I didn't know about the 40 mph thing back then.

                "I don't always roll a joint, but when I do, it's usually my ankle" - unk.         "Frankly autocorrect, I'm getting a bit tired of your shirt".                  I ran half my last race on my left foot!

                  Pacing and hydration. Some lube for chafing. And a clear concept of 'easy'. Ok then.

                    Well anyway, you can easily tell which is which by what foot a person leads off with. However eventually they will reach the starting point (as evidenced by lost hikers, etc.).> And its the other way around, right handers push themselves left and left handed push their bodies right. Since the majority of humans are right handed, counterclockwise is to optimize cornering speed. Lead foot is one method, but what if all you have to read are their foot prints on the ground to test side dominance? Well stated!

                      Unless they were in the military. Then they always lead off with the left foot.

                        Wrong. If you were in marching band long enough, you always lead with your left, regardless of which one is the dominant foot.

                        On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office.  But you will wish that you'd spent more time running.  Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

                          Also, most dances... if you lead... start with the left foot. Quick quick slow... quick quick slow...

                            Wrong. If you were in marching band long enough, you always lead with your left, regardless of which one is the dominant foot.
                            Unless you were in drum corps. Some of those dudes/dudettes lead with the right.

                              Now that's just a bunch of f***ing horses**t. Any drum corp that leads with the right foot should be used as a chemical warfare test subject. Also, it's arches on the yardlines, not toes. And put some spats on, damnit. MTA: And another thing -- enough with the fricking sideline percussion pit. If you can't carry it on the field and march with it, then don't even bother using it.

                              On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office.  But you will wish that you'd spent more time running.  Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

                                The dominant leg in runners is the one most likely with the knee band on it
