Best of luck, Chris! My money is on you! Remember, second place is First Loser. Winning isn’t everything, it’s the ONLY thing. If, heaven forbid, you find yourself approaching a runner from behind, let me caution you that shivving, while certainly effective, is easily detected. Therefore, a better strategy is to inconspicuously kidney punch the runner ahead. To help you in this endeavor, arriving in the mail today you will find two of these (one per hand):

One decent kidney punch will cause them to slow down. Done correctly, it will appear as though the runner has a debilitating cramp. If, perchance, you strike the opponent too firmly, it can cause kidney bleeding and a slow, painful death. If that happens, don’t worry about it - everyone out there knows the risks. Now go out there and kill the competition!
