... is now over.
Today, September 12, 2006 Lesser Mako Jackson and Maybe Dick Husband splashed to a decisive draw today on a beautiful mid-September super-natural BC day. Jackson first used the obvious manipulative ploy all weenies use when announcing this morning that today was the only day this week that he could perhaps take enough time from his supposedly over-crowded schedule to try to gain the Kits 5K Challenge.
Of course, to announce his constraint he picked 7 hours after Maybe Dick (or "wise" fatherly figure to the psychologically and emotionally imbalanced Jackson - a boy in a man's body) got off a 5 hour flight from Toronto after putting in a grueling 12 hour day the previous day. Regardless of the bogus handicapping, the whale shark agreed to give him a go.
It was a magnificent and delightful disaster for our dynamic duo. Lesser Mako was obliterated over the first 500m leg as the whale showed just how powerfully dominant he was over medium distances. For the second 500m leg, Lesser Mako picked up some points as Maybe Dick abruptly was reminded that he had just gotten out of a cab from a late-night flight 8 or 9 hours previously.
A quick confab confirmed with Lesser Mako that he would become the "official winner", as Maybe D was not prepared to battle it out over 40 lengths after being handed - nay, confronted - with such an obvious and devious handicap as being forced into the swim with essentially no notice and no choice.
