"I Might Die"
When I read the blurb in today's NY Times about a race in which organizers have participants sign a waiver that asserts "I might die," I thought of the tragic death of the Olympian marathon hopeful in Central Park last year, the increase in hyponatremia among road race participants, and the fear of heart attacks that caused NYC's Corporate Challenge to become more of a spring than summer event. But I didn't immediately imagine that folks are actually creating events with the hopes of gaining the title as the "world's toughest race." You can add this to the list of events, like ultra marathons, which I am unlikely to ever attempt!
