Subject: RE: Kona Lottery Winners DV 1 - 2012-04-25 11:32 AM So ....... how exactly did you answer all those questions on the lottery application? Last two years I've tried honesty. This year I may put random thoughts like, "red" "flip turns" "panties" "P5" "Lance" "Seat's Too High" etc ... Honesty. In fact, this is the first year I haven't had really good answers. In my previous lottery attempts I was always able to play up the "I'll be training while deployed" thing. This year I just filled it out. I played up my long distance swimming abilities a bit (and my amazing "double feat" of the 10k swim and Boulder 70.3 in one weekend), but otherwise, nothing interesting. Took me a minute to fill out the page. I think with those answers they really are maybe looking for their one or two showcase stories...the person coming back from a terrible accident, the cancer survivor...whatever...the people they feature on the video. I don't think the answers to those questions impact the actual lottery drawing at all. |
