Smackdown - The put your money where your mouth is thread (see mod post 179)

Woddle

Remembering back to this thread between meno and chinguetti I was wondering would a smackdown thread be a good idea.
It would help hone those racing skills and if everyone took it in the same spirit as the brothers above it could be good fun.

How would it work, I'm not too sure, maybe some pms to one another before announcing it on the thread. If you thought 2 guys or gals from their training logs were well matched why not send them a pm and see if their interested.
Racing against someone is a great experience and only adds to the adrenaline on race day.

What you think, any ideas welcome.

claralara vs jcsmum at dunshaughlin 10k. This is a real grudge match. Also to be known as the battle for digger's banana :pac:.

Digger vs MrSlow in cork city marathon has also got a bit of needle.

chinguetti

Great idea. Shorter races are far bigger for this - anything up to 10k i guess.

If my memory is right, the orginial was started by others and we accepted the challenge in good spirits, as it came about after the Simon 5k epic finish last year.

Head to heads can be dangerous things.... Proper motivation is unrivaled to get you out of bed every day of the week to get in consistant training.

It works even better in a relay race, where both people want the fastest split. Makes one kick ass relay team

That's two races in a row that I'm up against someone:rolleyes:, Rainbow Kirby has decided to agree to race Claralara and Jcsmum and risk the forfeit of running the race series dressed as a slutty french maid.:D

It's a long way away but myself, Jackyback and Brianderunner have a bet on next years Conn Ultra. I can't wait to see brain Blowing up just before the marathon mark :pac:

The chicken will likely try to back out of the bet this weekend though:

Age has nothing to do with it - if yer racing each other, all you have to do is stalk your opponent and finish ahead of them.

Tis all about the tactics and who's the smarter in a race situation
