2010I’ve been watching a repeat of the 2009 Alpine Skiing World Cup on Universal Sports this evening and found it absolutely amazing how Lindsey Vonn is able to obliterate the competition.

People run funny. It’s true. If you’ve ever set up camp next to a track and watched the funny mammals go round and round then you’ll know that you don’t need retinal scanning to uniquely identify someone – you just have to watch their running gait. (Although I hear it’s hard to make dead bodies run so perhaps there is still a need for fingerprinting and the like. Or Voodoo.) I remember one woman at our Y known solely by the moniker “Pam Who Runs On Her Toes.” And Pam was truly a sight to see, boinging up and down around the track like a gazelle wearing moon boots. Her legend lives on passed down from runner to runner despite the fact that I don’t think she’s worked out there for 3 years now.
