The event being described as epic exceeds 5 hours.<br />2. You must spend >50% of the time lost. <br />3. The weather must suck. <br />4. You must have no food, no money, and no stores on the way. <br />5. <50% of the route is paved. <br />6. You cry at least twice. <br />7. An animal is involved (the bigger the better).<br /><br />He followed this up a month later with this corollary:<br /><br />"I forgot to mention that one of the criteria for a training epic is<br />that the circumstances have to spiral out of control and do so as a result of something done by the person involved that was completely<br />avoidable, and would have been if an ounce of common sense was used.<br />Racing epics are events that may or may not require a complete lack of<br />common sense on the part of the participant.

My fingers are so badly swollen from the repetitive stress of clicking that I now find it easier to just mash the mouse with my forehead. I sold my bicycle some time ago so that I could afford to keep the power on for the computer just a bit longer. I blacked out from excitement when I saw my comment in your post and have only just come to. My comment was drivel and I realise you were laughing at it, but any attention is good attention, I have no shame. (g-roc, I can't remember what my name is, I sign off using the European Conformance mark I see inscribed on my mouse every time I mash it with my face)<br /><br />The only positive thing to come of this whole situation, is the concept of "hair drippings" nourishing the earth. ceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-2650758785061842582010-12-17T07:17:52.736-05:002010-12-17T07:17:52.736-05:00I've said enough, but I have to ask Snob...

I missed going for a ride the morning after writing that comment because I stayed up too late on the computer. Despite this, the only thing that bothers me is realising that my humour from the smoky, dimly lit confines of the comments section looks pretty mediocre in the bright lights of your blog. I've held off replying for as long as I can to appear blasé, but actually this is the most exciting, most validating thing to ever happen to me.
