One hour, 44 minutes, 25 seconds \u2013 my official time in the Atlanta chapter of the zombie run.\u00a0 Yikes.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s 66 minutes and one second longer than it took me to finish the course in Maryland.\u00a0 Sure, the mud played a gigantic inhibiting factor in the Georgia run, but who am I to kid that I probably couldn\u2019t have done way better than that time, if I had actually tried, instead of dicking around with my friends?\u00a0 To put it in perspective, literally only 29 people \u201csurvived\u201d with slower times than I did.\u00a0 522 people \u201csurvived,\u201d and I ranked 493 out of those times.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fastest survival time was 39:37:10, which was actually 1:13:80\u00a0slower<\/em>\u00a0than my Maryland time, to put in perspective just how grueling the mud made the Georgia run.\u00a0 A 41-year old man bettered that time by five minutes, but had apparently lost all his flags, therefore not really \u201cthe winner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t regret my course of actions during the run, and I still declare that I had more fun this time, screwing around with the zombies, but this is quite an eye-opener for me.\u00a0 In contrast to the Maryland run, I was rarely winded, and my muscles often fatigued before my stamina did, and I know I could have easily crossed in under an hour if I actually put forth the effort, state of survival up for debate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon completion of the Atlanta zombie run, a part of me would be content at never participating again.\u00a0 But a competitive part of me wants a degree of redemption; I don\u2019t have anything to prove, but I still kind of want to end on a really high note.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
