I recently(2 years ago) had a race, actually two races. One was against a shit talking old friend of mind (36 years old) and the other was a young shit talking co-woker/friend (25) years old. I won both races, not by much, and felt great. Three weeks ago, I had a small bar-b-cue at the casa and my 16 year old, 110 pound, 5'10" nephew starting talking crap about my age (32). Well I challenged him to a race. I was humiliated by the ease of which he beat me with that I demanded a re-match only to fall in the second race and hurt my ankle. My only redemption was the fact that I could bench press almost twice his weight but I was a broken man that day. I'm not sure who I was kidding but my days of being the Flash are long gone.
