Naked Marathon Guy Update! A dude running Cincy’s Flying Pig Marathon last weekend claims his borrowed running shorts wouldn’t fit, slipped off, and he was forced to run in the nude. Police tried to stop him (but his pace was in the 7’s 🙂 ) and they ended up tazing him. Did he enjoy flying his pig? He told a reporter “It was cold and rainy, so I wasn’t exactly proud of what I was showing.” SHRINKAGE.
He’ll be arraigned today in Cincinnati. He told his home town newspaper (click here) that he’s not guilty:
“I’ve run in marathons all over the country, and I think I know the running culture pretty well and I know that anything goes on race day. This is something that happens and is tolerated in the running culture, along with runners who sometimes (urinate) or defecate during a race. Shouldn’t that be considered indecent exposure, too, if what I did was indecent? In fact, running naked was encouraged in a marathon I ran in San Francisco, so I don’t know why this was such a big deal…I didn’t do anything wrong and certainly not anything that is not part of the running culture.”
Below normal temps continue the next few days, so keep your shirt on, and expect a 10-15mph breeze today. Still a 40% shower/storm chance for the Mini, with 10mph winds, and temps warming up through the 50’s.
