Milwaukee Lakefront Discovery Run , 15 & 5K ? (Page 6)

TONY!!!  I suppose it would be okay to let a FIB up here for the weekend.  We could reminisce about Elkhart!

There were hills at Elkhart?  I don't remember.... 

No, they don't make costumes for girls over 5'6"...I can make any Halloween costume indecent just by the shear fact that most of them don't go to mid thigh...

I was going to try to remember to bring my camera...there's gonna be too many peeps there to not... 

ooooooooooooo....I scared now... 

I talked to the person who is taking over as race director for this race next year, she said there are already over 1,000 people registered and they expect another 300+ race day registrations!!!

Crap....how will I find you!!!! Wow nice turn out. 

Well, lets see....there is gonna be about 15 of us, one is 6'8 another 6'7, there will be a big Zima bottle.  If you see another group like that OR simply cant find a donkey, give a loud EEEEAAAAWWWW.  Its sad but it is a great way to get the attention of another Donk.  I live by TriDDS and we routinely get random EEEEAAAWWWs from one another when seeing one work out as the other is driving around.

 I was just thinking the same thing....I may have to bring my bike and park and ride..

Don’t know that it would help since I’m also trying to find the donks , but I could sport either the urban running sombrero or the 25 gallon foam cowboy hat to distinguish myself from the crowd. (that's me in the cowboy hat next to my dad and brother at the 06 Buffett concert)

My options for tomorrow:

viking: vision is limited, heavy costume, good head coverage in the rain but novelty will probably wear out mile three with 6 to go.  Anticipated pace: 9:30-10:30 (eats into beer time but great social pace).  Would be epic though!

zombie:  lighter weight, mask has poor visibility, but creepy.  Probably same pace based on lack of vision

werewolf:  cool mask, rubber werewolf hands, feet and teets but limited vision.  Mask has hole for drinking straw!  Pace: 10-12 to breaking face on pavement

frankenstein: mask has good vision but kinda boring costume maybe. 9's?

devil mask: freaky, goofy, just a mask which could lead to other accessories and stuff.  Probably 8:30s to 9's in this

psycho rodeo clown:  good vision, hole for drinking straw, flashy and folks generally dont like creepy clowns!  I cant find the rodeo hat so would have to come up with something else.  Might actually be able to pull 7:30s or 8's in it!

predator: bad vision, ugly mask but sci fi option.

what am I a clown? do I amuse you? er, I guess I would be.....  The jumpsuit has lots of orange on it too so it is kinda carroty.

Thank you to the donks welcoming me into donkey nation! It ranks right up there with…..well I don’t have many accomplishments so let’s just say it’s up there.

Anyone up for a post race swim? Chris????
