Pre-race routine:

My strategy for this race was with one goal in mind: to crush TriComet beneath the heel of my will. I spent the entire evening slyly keeping Haley awake, throwing pebbles, turning the air condition off, spiking her food with acidic additives...
Event warmup:

Running through my diabolical plans again (repition and practice are key to a seccessful diabolical plan, I've found)I plotted and planned: "Hey, lets go over here..." "What do you mean you want to sit down?" "Water? Nah... you don't need anything to drink..." "What were you thinking with that top? It makes you look fat..."
Run

Comments:

Started slow - Now she's a marathon runner, had just completed an Iron Man, so I was outclassed. I knew my will and astonishing intellect (poor spelling aside) would have to carry the day... first thing I would do would be to plug in my headphones and pretend I couldn't hear a damn thing she said, frustrating her and taking her out of her game plan.

"Huh?"
"What?"
"I can't hear you, I'm wearing headphones!"

20 minutes into the run I could tell my evil plan and blistering 10 minute pace was working (set up by some clever plotting - "It's just a fun run, lets take it slow so we can talk"

At mile 3 I got a little concerned, as she was picking up the pace and seemed to be getting comfortable (thrust - counter-thrust. The chess match began in earnest!).

At mile 4.5, I cold tell she was warm (bitch! who takes 5 miles to get warm?!?!?!?!) I feigned the need to walk for a few seconds prior to coming down the shoot. I knew she was feeling it, and true to form, she didn't want to stop, jogging around me as I built up my reserves fort the finishing sprint she didn't know was coming. Also, I messed with her grove again. Throwing off the groove was integral with my plan.

After walking about 10 paces, I was off like a dart at a smoking sub 10 minute pace. I waited until the last few paces to position myself in front of her, using my considerable girth (not the Wahoo kind of girth) To block her - I kept telling her, c'mon, so we could cross the line together, but she just didn't have it in her to catch up. WELSHY WINS!!!!!
What would you do differently?:

Trip her?
Post race
Warm down:

BEER. LOTS OF BEER!!!!

But she was sneaky and not to be taken lightly - in payment, I was draged kicking and screaming to the Outlet Mall.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

About 50 extra pounds.

"Also, I messed with her grove again."

That's impressive, I mean in the middle of a race and all.

And note to Comet: if he refers to it as a grove, it might be time to do some 'scaping. I'm just sayin'.

Yes, the run coincided with WurstFest...sausage festival. The sausages were so good after the race!

OMG....I really hope he meant "groove"

Subject: RE: Wurst 5 Milers
Well, congrats, I guess. The Shoe-Tying thing was a low blow. Which is a compliment for you, right? (I always slip up in my Evil Geniuses etiquette -- and I thought Japanese customs were confusing!)

Congrats on having fun, BOTH of you!

Subject: RE: Wurst 5 Milers
he may have gone into the shadows of BT, but he is still evil. I wonder if he knows his arch riveal the Hoss Chick from the Heavens is making signs of a comeback. She has been off her game for quite awhile, but the storm clouds are parting and she has a look of determination in her eyes. Like the tortous, she has been off her game for almost a year, but things are not looking so good for the unaposed welshy anymore
