Only because I haven't started my training yet.

Parking cars. Backed in, pulled in, paralleled, doesn't really matter.

 

This FedEx guy will give you a run for the money.

I like my odds. A lot.

So what you're saying is...you and I would make up half of the BGP 4x100m carrying in all the grocery bags in a single trip team, correct?

 

I love doing the one arm grocery carry. I'm glad there is more of us.

Painting trim. I'm good (and absurdly anal) at painting/finishing trim even though I detest doing so. First thing I see when I enter a house. Can't help it.

 

Drives me nuts.

Unfortunately (for me), I became very skilled in finishing drywall and painting during my days in home building. I can cut in like nobody's business. Talking sash brush taped to the end of an extension pole skills for days, here.

 

Out of pure hatred, I'd outright refuse to compete in the 400m wall-finishing IM - that's 100m tape & mud, 100m sand & skim, 100m ceilings & walls, and 100m cut in & trim.

I suck at finishing drywall. I usually hang, pay someone to finish. Mud is an art with which I have little patience.:lol2:

Pacing while talking on phone. I could probably go a week straight.

 

I also excel at forgetting where the hell I either put my phone or can of dip.

I am a world class procrastinator.

 

You're disqualified, because you found the time to post this.

I had a job with a landscaping company in high school. Most of us were grunts who just carried things and cleaned up. We had our own olympics one day.

 

We had a race with everyone carrying four bags of mulch. A tree deadlift. A cinder block toss. And a forklift obstacle course with a pallet of mulch on the forks. I'm sure I forgot a few.

 

I think we all won by not getting fired.

This! I can lose a can of dip anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

I went the lazy mans approach in my basement man-cave. I put one coat of mud over the joints and let it dry, then I put up paintable wallpaper and wainscotting......you can't tell where the joints are. :thumb:

I'm throwing my name in the hat for quickest food prep from fridge to plate. Whether skillet, grill, gas/electric...microwave is only used for taters! :lol2:

 

We cook a lot of chicken and veggies in the C1 household! And we love garlic and onion...

 

I could probably be a top 10% pick for eating movie theatre popcorn or chicken wings!

 

:lol2:

 

And Mrs C1 will vouch for shortest foot rub and loudest snore! :wave:

I disagree. I'm at work and guess what's not getting done because I'm on BGP...my work.

In one of my biggest money pits ever, I built a house on top of a mountain, whole thing minus the bathrooms was tongue and groove. It was nice, hang pics anywhere without worry, youngest could chip golfballs into it without going through. Fun house with not much drywall.
