Last week I ran the Vancouver Sun Run, which is one of the biggest running races in the world. My friend and I are both athletes but we are both recovering from injuries so we decided to run 'slowly.' Instead of racing, he threw on a full gorilla suit and I put on a banana suit. We put on quite a show chasing each other around prior the race, then passing as many people as we could during the race keeping up some pretty hilarious dialogue. We stopped for cheerleaders on the side and generally made a great time of it.
After the race, there is a large fair in the stadium. I had brought my phone with me, and the routine I started using was grabbing girls paying any attention to us for pictures. Of course they had no cameras so pictures were taken on my phone along with their numbers =) It was ridiculous.... I was getting 30 second # closes without putting in any effort whatsoever!
I've never peacocked before, but this was amazing. Also, our social proof was through the roof as we had thousands of people laughing and cheering at us throughout the race and in the stadium as we chased each other around. We even ended up on the national news!
This ended up in my first 100% stranger -> GF pickup. So far, all the relationships I have entered have been from easy circumstances such as mutual friends or class. I'm pretty happy since I know I couldn't have done this at last years Sun Run! My friend said I reminded him of Charlie Harper from 2 1/2 Men
