We grabbed a bite to eat at the General Store which is owned by one of the two race organizers. This guy owns basically the whole town. Call it his own Sim City if you will. Well, this guy was in the General Store and said "Hey, we are thinking only 6 of you will finish." You could see each one in there mentally saying, "I'll be one of the six." These guys who run the race do nothing more than mental mind games.
Patrick got his bib, sweatshirt, and hat. As we were standing there, a female participant comes up to the race organizer and says, "Where is a bathroom?" After he points her in the right direction and she walks away, he says, "How long do you think she will last?" My response? "Well, she couldn't find the bathroom on her own."
I applaud anyone who tries this race, but I think, just like at PR Fitness, you need to check your ego at the door. Come in cocky and you could be crushed.
