Share 'em here! (Inspired by Dino's recent IM CDA video)

I've got two contributions...First, from 9 years ago on Maui @ Xterra World Champs; I was so happy I finally *beat* that friggin' course (This is to show Dino how you're *supposed* to leap across the line):

In the Worst Category, my last race, when I tried (and failed) to beat the guy in the blue RMTC shirt, and ended up between two metal barriers.

    Love the juxtaposition of the 2 extremes Al

    I've got nothing! I am old enough to know better than to try and leap at the end of a long event, and so far I have manged to stay on two feet at the end...knock on wood.

    Ok Al, those are extremes.  Love them both.

    I'm like Paul - never tried to jump across the line yet.  I guess my worst would be in the 2010 Chicago marathon when it was 93* and I cramped so bad I had to walk across the finish line.  Only time I've ever done that.  It was so ugly I didn't buy the finish line picture so you'll have to take my word on it.  UGLY!!  But I learned a great lesson the hard way that day...drink, drink, and when in doubt, drink some more.
