Mulitsports.com is putting on a Splash n Dash on Saturday in Oceanside. The following exchange is in response to Paul Huddle’s offer to e-mail him with any further questions. It’s this kind of personal attention that makes these guys great race directors.
Gary Mc
Q: Why come you keep e-mailing me all the time? Why can’t you just let me be?
A:Because we’re a self-serving, self-promoting, money grubbing entity.
Q: Your thoughts about floaties? I’m not a strong swimmer. Snorkel? Flippers?
A:I think you should wrap yourself in a floatie (wetsuit), put one of those Dino (the dinosaur from the Flinstones) inner tube things around your waist, strap a MinnKota 50-hp electric motor to your back (great for silent bass fishing) and go for it. Fins are NOT allowed.
Q: Running is so 20th century,will there be a “Skipping” division?
A:No but you’ll be required to do 10 x 6-count burpees at each aid station.
Q: Will Heather be there? She makes me uncomfortable, always undressing me with her eyes.
A:I’ll copy her with this so that she knows…
Q: Same question for Roch.
A:You’ve known this for a while and, frankly, I think you like it.
Q: Are helmets required.
A:Only on the Pier (City of O-side request).
Q: Any chance I’ll need to join another goddamn federation before Saturday?
A:Several, the most important of which is the Paul and Roch federation.
Q:Does this wetsuit make my butt look fat?
A:Bigger than a pie wagon.
Q: Can you explian the roll down procedure?
A:After your soaking wet, we roll you down in the sand - we’ve got some big guys to help with this.
Q: Plum smuggler or banana hammock, which is correct?
A:Neither. The new fashion this year is the bun hugger bob - sort of a hot pant style from Brazil.
