You think you had a hard race last weekend?
Here’s where it came from. This was at the Prefontaine Classic 1500m race this past weekend. Lots of high level talent in one big shot, even if it is many of them getting seriously pounded.
Paula Radcliffe went on to finish 6th. Not sure where everyone else ended up.

Oh, and I don’t know if it’s part of a vast conspiracy, but the ones who fell were all Team Nike and almost all blonde. Coincidence?

Ouch… Hope there were no long-lasting injuries.
But still, there’s something strangely attractive about a pile of panting, sweaty, fit women…

Are they pregnant? Because they look like me, trying to walk around the last few weeks.

All I can think of is, “Ow! That must hurt…but look at their abs! Good lord, those women are cut!”
