Tesfa 5K Results and Thanksgiving 5K Photos

The Tesfa 5K results from a few weeks ago are finally up. This was my first win (although it was only in a field of 64 runners):



And here are some official photos from the Thanksgiving 5K where I placed 2nd in 18:43 (if you didn’t see my outfit, make sure to check out the previous post):

This weekend, we went home for my in-laws wedding anniversary. Their 2 boys, along with Jon and myself, bought matching shirts for when we all went bowling:



The shirts have a stick figure on it blowing a fart-cloud and holding a sign that says “Free Gas.” We had a great time!

This next weekend, I’m planning on running the Reindeer Run 5K in Minneapolis. Am I going to see any of you out there?? I think it’s the same Lake Harriet loop as the Monster Dash. If the weather isn’t super crappy, I may bust out a similar outfit! Stay tuned!!!...

  4. Congrats on your win! Can't imagine how it must have felt to be beat (and lapped!) by the guy in tighty whities. Ouch.

  6. Dude! Awesome race! I guess i can't blame the cold weather on my pitiful 5K turkey trot results, huh?!

  7. Great pictures and a great race. I also must agree that it could be a tad disheartening to be passed by some guy wearing his underwear on the outside.

    P.S. Your win is one more that I shall ever see.

  9. I'll be on the lookout for you Saturday at the Reindeer Run. Rest assured I'll be in the back as my fitness is completely gone and has been replaced with a spare tire.

  17. Congrats again on your race. For some reason every time I look at your pics, I keep looking at your ASS and those undies.. NOt a good feeling.

    Good luck at the 5k.

  18. Holy mother it looks COLD! I think the secret to the first/second place finishes is that everyone else is rolling on the ground laughing at your get-ups as you fly by ;)

  19. It's been said already, but I cannot imagine what it feels like to the other guys gunnin' it... only to be beat by the guy in the underpants.
    I can't stop giggling about it!

  20. The Free Gas shirts rock!!! My kid would love that shirt. I would get in trouble for letting him wear it to school though...

    That snow in the pics is freaking me out. It was in the low 70's today in Houston.
