Picture yourself surrounded by 700 Mountain Gorrilas. That's where I was saturday morning. Now these weren't your average gorillas, they drank, smoked and generally acting like a bunch of people. It was of course the Denver Gorilla Run. My roomate, a few coworkers and myself signed up at the last minute to get some sweet gorilla suits and run a 6k through Denver.
In the past I had heard that the temperature was pretty cool, considering it's the end of October and all. Well it was 75 and sunny, not a cloud in the sky, great for pics, bad for staying dry. Those suits were roasting, I had to take the mask off a few times to breath.
We decided running wasn't going to be fun enough in gorilla suits so we brought skateboards, the one problem being we had 3 and there was 4 of us. Clown boy solved that by finding a bench 150 yds after we started, took a nap for 45 minutes and then got up and ran back to the finish. It takes a special kind of person to do something like that.
All in all it was fun doing the people slolom on the long board and then boxing CB across the finish in a gorilla suit with boxing gloves.
Man my groin is sore from all the skatin.
