Some people aren't scared of their wives!!!

I think it’s just you and me that are… :smiley:

A bull turned back from in front of me and was running the wrong direction. That’s the most “real” it got while I was running. I pinned myself to the wall and used two Spaniards as human shields for a while.

I noticed you are using a local spaniard as body armor.

Is that wrong? To be honest, I don’t know who I used. I am confident that I held two men closely during those few seconds, though about 30 more packed in closely behind them fearing for their lives.

Yes, indeed. They aren't as portable as small children.

Okay, I saw an American was gored. Was that you?

See the guy climbing the drain pipe on the wall above you! That would be me:wink:

46

That guy who was gored wrote a book on how to survive the run. The video shows he was an idiot, he was screwing with a loose bull hat was running the wrong way he was trying to help turn it around and it decided he was the target. You can see me recognize that the bull is coming backwards in one of the vids.

That guy in the green and white looks like he’s about to have a bad day! You need to send that photo to the Clemson Magazine, I’m sure they would publish it for ya. I woke up to that story on the news this morning, after I read this thread a couple of days ago, and thought OH S**T!!! Good to hear you made it.

A lot of people have said to send it in. I think I might.

Thanks for thinking about me. It was a great time, but I don’t recommend it at all. Go watch it, don’t run.

Good photo and good story which you will get a lot of mileage from at camp fires and bars for the rest of your life.

Is that Jim Cantore, running on your left, just in front on the black bull? Bonzo, has some catching up to do if it is:smiley: How much cheap Red Wine did you drink while there:question:

52

Nice!! Knew you would have a blast. How many days did you run?

53

We only ran one morning. We went to the fight the night before, which is kind of morose. I expected it to be a much more of a fair fight than it was. Not a fan of that after the experience.

We waited around after the run to pick up a copy of the videos, which is where that pic came from. Then we went to San Sebasti?n for a night, now we are in Germany, tiny town called Prichenstadt for the wedding a little later today.

I facetimed my brother in law because I could find my wife, who apparently went to the hospital last night for a kidney stone. She’s fine, I’ll be home a day earlier than expected because my Monday flight was cancelled and I had them move it to Sunday. During that short interaction, he made it clear that the pic was floating around town already and I was a local bad ass now,

The guy to my direct left is one of my buddies, he’s pinned against the wall and you can see just a tiny bit of the top of the tiger law.

That bull took one look at the size of the tiger paw on your shirt and ran the other way! The bull said to himself: “If he fought that tiger and won, I don’t have a chance!”

Glad you enjoy yourself, we do many dangerous things in life everyday and everyone calls everyone else crazy for doing it!

Theres nothing like the "Smell" and sounds of the creek. Its not just one thing that makes it familiar..its all of it.

Hard to believe this thread made it 3 pages with no mention, nor picture, of one of the cf.com OG’s running with the bulls…

I didn’t realize the pic was already on the web. And, I didn’t know if anyone would remember greg1.

Is that actually someone off the site, OG = Skinnee I guess? That’s way more badass than my pic?
