Win Free Stuff

We dropped the ball by not having any sort of contest for the Olympics, so here -- we'll piggyback off of someone else's contest (again).

If you do the Facebook -- and I know you do -- you can join the group set up for the chasingBOLT video project, and, once you're in (like buttah) you can send Usain some well-wishes via photo message. The best messages will win special, Limited Edition Gold Medal/WR T-shirts, which will be sweet. I have full confidence of this, because Ben suffered the ignominy of getting caught wearing the shirt Puma made after Bolt's 9.72, whole HOURS after it was rendered obsolete by that 9.69 clocking -- and that design was the balls.

And meantime, take a look at some of the other existing submissions. If you can't beat them, you ain't trying. In fact, whoever can come up with the best re-captioning/Photoshop-job of someone else's entry, we'll give you something for nothing. Something mysterious. Something cool. Something that's cool because it's mysterious.

Hey - looks like we officially have a contest, after all.

Boston, Day 1: It's Been a Long, Crazy Road...

After a comedy of errors in our long trip from LTOB headquarters to the heart of Boston, we have decided to lay our head down for the night. Since we didn't make reservations in a hotel, "laying our head down for the night" really means its time to get serious about finding some chick to hook-up with.


Needless to say, the Puma party exceeded expectations for white guys and percentage of guests sporting running shoes with their jeans. It also was the setting for a wicked break dance battle between letsrun's brojos and a team of NYRR prez Mary Wittenberg and Chasing ______'s Matt Taylor. All I'll say about it is that one spectator described Ms. Wittenberg's worm as "tasty," whatever that means.

We'll be back tomorrow, I just spotted some low-hanging fruit teetering over a cosmo at the bar. Wish me luck.

BOSTON BOUND!

No, we didn't run sub-3:05 or whatever it is to qualify to Boston - although my co-workers tell me that's a "really REALLY amazing time, and might even get you into the Olympics." Rather, Less Than Our Best is driving up simply to experience the excitement of our SECOND Olympic Marathon Trials in six months. That's hardcore, huh?

As you may have heard, LetsRun and PUMA are teaming up to throw a little shindig. Unfortunately I guess our essay didn't make the cut to get in, so we're going to have to get creative and find an alternate way into what is rumored to be the biggest bash Boston's ever seen.

So check back over the weekend for updates. And tell your friends that early next week everyone can expect full (video) documentation of everything you missed out while sitting at home.

PS. Let us know if there is anything you'd like to see from the weekend, and we'll do our best to deliver.
