Sorry, but I had to post this.
This is Ted Archer, winner of Rocky Raccoon and fellow coachee of Lisa Smith Batchen.
Here is his pot. This was his first place prize.
Note the lack of any “Rocky Raccoon” identification.
Also note the lack of any indication that he won.
Which means that putting it on the mantle will not only not inform his guests that he stormed the Rocky Raccoon Endurance Trail Race on his very first 50 mile run, but will also make them think he’s got the hideous taste to showcase this thing on his mantle.
But Ted looks pretty impressed with it, no?

You mean it’s not a picture from Antiques Roadshow?

When I read the headline and saw the photo, I though this Ted was holding a pot of toenails. Is that what’s in there? Toenails found on the Rocky Raccoon Endurance trail?

Excellent, Marianne. It’s good to know that my goofy, cheesy actions will be forever broadcast to the entire world!
On a related note, I just noticed this about the picture of the pot: Can you see the halo of light resting an inch above the pot? Perhaps that is the Navajo-infused spirit that is living within. Or, perhaps that pot is a perfect, saintly object. Do you think that I might be able to use that image as evidence that the Virgin Mary visited my pot? Could I charge admission?

Ted looks very much blown away by it - yes. That was some funny RR recount. I love(d) been fat (ok, overstatement, bigger than your usual image of a runner-gal) and charging by someone in the last 20% of the race - though I do wish I can drop a few (or ten)…but then again, I don’t think I wish it hard enough, as I am still there:)

i wonder if the urn came with 3 wishes? maybe he could bring the pot to Morocco and use it as his food dish during the MDS…
