I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much.

And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

Inspired by Sean and Matt, and buoyed by his ultra-competitive spirit (and my almost-as-competitive spirit), Cody threw down the gauntlet yesterday and challenged me to a duel- a running duel. He then mocked my injury, my haircut, my running style, and even my car. And so I say... Bring it! You're going down, Cody.

For the record, Cody and I will race head to head in 4 races: Buffalo Run 50k, Pocatello 50 mile, Logan Peak Run, and El Vaquero Loco 50k. Whoever has the fastest combined time for all the races wins. Nice and easy. Except for Cody, who's about to get his intestines handed to him on a platter. Not only will I win this competition, but I will also win the accompanying trash talking. Starting today.

Here's my insult for today- I'm so confident that I'm going to win, that I'm not even going to start running for a few more days. Better use it to your advantage, Cody.

i have a bad feeling about this...it could get ugly.

Bwahahaha. I'm so excited to follow this. Just a suggestion, to make it more insulting, you should track it on your profile on the left.

From Ashbaker on Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 21:25:16 from 174.52.96.106

Uh oh, Cody must be feeling in the zone.

You know.. Sasha didn't ever think I could get him in a marathon either! LOL!

From Ashbaker on Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 21:26:03 from 174.52.96.106

This should be fun to watch.

From Cody on Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 22:19:42 from 67.161.250.22

Oh crap, its official.

I am feeling it all right. That is why I was dry heaving today. Must be nervous already or something, right...

From Cody on Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 22:26:40 from 67.161.250.22

So, what should the winner get? Or what should the loser have to do? I mean, what should we have Jon do when he loses?

From Jon on Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 23:00:36 from 75.169.157.242

We have a few weeks to decide your punishment for losing, Cody.

From David Nelson on Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 23:07:36 from 24.22.231.57

I hung out with these guys at Orcas last weekend. Matt won. Sean's prize was he had to wear a little girl's pink vest the rest of the night (though everyone agreed he really liked it, so Matt kind of lost).

Maybe Cody will be wearing little green shorts in public should things not go his way? (And I don't mean in public running, I mean like hanging around Summerfest.)

From redrooster on Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 23:46:24 from 67.40.119.216

not a bad idea about the shorts...maybe the loser should also have to wear those really nice fluorescent green gaiters Jon has too. I wonder if those things glow in the dark to light up the trail? did they attract bears and coyotes? where in the world did you find those things?

From Ashbaker on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 00:38:02 from 174.52.96.106

Yeah, I have a pair like that, never seen the light of day though.. They would be just perfect!

From Paul on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 09:37:27 from 174.23.180.177

The loser has to build me a new deck.

From crockett on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 10:36:27 from 216.49.181.254

The loser has to pace me at Wasatch for 60 miles and endure my singing without the use of earplugs.

From Adam RW on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 11:03:39 from 155.101.152.103

Thank you for the entertainment guys.

From Jon on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 11:22:29 from 138.64.8.52

Davy, we said punishment, not torture!

From Superfly on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 20:16:28 from 208.117.127.110

Good stuff guys. Looking forward to the first race.

From Predog on Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 21:53:19 from 174.27.133.30

Now, with proper marketing techniques we could make you both a pretty nice paycheck out of this. Team Jon! (14,000 teenage girls and their mothers scream their collective heart out) Team Cody! (another 14,000 women swoon as Cody runs by in short shorts and an FRB singlet) New cologne brands, with varieties like "Cody's Man-Sweat." "Jon's Post 100 Miler Shoes" and "GreenShorts." You could even make a full length blockbuster depicting the saga. Just give me a 1% cut for the idea. :)
