Noble Twinkie Track Throw-down - 1st Annual

I have no idea how we ended up here. I know that I was downstairs at our rental home during our Hansen reunion and Tia comes down and says "let's go - the guys are throwin' down on a race at the track". So I followed her upstairs and sure enough...everyone was loading into the cars. We followed my mom to her old alma mater (Skyline) and then the rules were laid out.
My brother-in-law is a gifted athlete. My little brother and he like to bet each other on a lot of things. Matt got in the mix of it and the next thing I know is- we're all racing a 400 meter race. We were sure that Timmy did NOT have it in him. Of course NONE of us are runners. So you can see just how insane this was. We just wanted to take our Del Taco chili-cheese fries - twinkie loving brother-in-law down, and if meant we had to go down too...so be it. I mean genetics can only go so far right?

Tia thought it would be a great idea to video the race - I haven't watched it yet - I just remember as I was severely suckin' wind on the final curve - that I better wipe the extreme pained look off my face 'cause my mother was filming this. Maybe we'll put it on youtube someday...maybe.

That can't be good...

So...the final race results were as follows:

1. Tim (the Twinkie)

2. Jace (he gave up - gonna have to talk to him about chasin' the dragon)

3. Matt (inspired to train for next summer)

4. Megan (huffin and puffin and hurtin)

5. Tia (slow and steady)

Now Timmy was hurtin after this, but Matt and Jace felt like they had more in them and saw Tim growing weak. They decided to go in for the kill. A 60 yard dash was the FINAL race. Tim hesitated but knew he couldn't opt out. It was close...Jace almost had him, but as the DNA would have it the twinkie lovin' man won AGAIN. However, with that crazy race Tim was officially out. We're talking the kind you want to go and barf all over the side of the track OUT. While the rest of us we're hangin' out laughing and recovering Timmy was barely moving in a far corner of the track. Matt and Jace took note of this and an official annual race was declared. Next year - he'd better watch out.
