Das Hustlehoff


Yesterday Michelle and I ran another race. A 10K. The funniest by far. I mean, it was part of Oktoberfest. A "bier" run. Lots of interesting people. Lots to look at while I ran. Here, I'll show you....


My cool socks....


Our location. Downtown Denver. Very urban. I didn't suck air this time .. I was sucking exhaust...



Before the race ... Michelle and I in front of the "Knight Rider" car.



Us with the toilet. In case you can't read the back it says, "running toilets waste water"...


There was lots of this ...


The baywatch babes at the start ....


Lots of these guys ...

The chicken man making his way ...


The toilet bowl makes his way across the finish line ...


The Dusseldorf family twirling their way home ...


I gotta get me a pair of these to run in ...


Making my way across the finish line .. socks and braids. I squeaked in third in my age group but 23d overall out of about 400 runners. There was this girl in a huge tutu in front of me. I wanted so bad to beat her but I just couldn't pass her. You would think all that tulle would make some drag .. but apparently not enough. I was pissed to say the least .. now the back of big white fluff haunts me in my nightmares.
50.56 was my time.



me and Miss Diva at the finish ...


Joe is always our one man cheering squad during every race. Such a good guy .. always our 'supporter'. And driver. And water getter. And picture taker. And 'oh and hold this too' guy. This is how he passed the time this race. Catching up on his scout reading .. at the downtown 'library'.
