Jack's Airport Sprint

Over the break Jack had to sprint through Denver's airport in cowboy boots. This could have gone in a terrible direction had he taken a spill...thankfully he did not.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank god I'd been running recently, because I landed at
C twenty four at Denver's massive airport, and because of
a delayed flight, had eight minutes until my next flight
was supposed to take off. As I landed, in fact,
I was told by passengers around me, you can't make it.

(00:22):
There's no way. They'll have the door shut already, right,
which I figured they would, but they must have last.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
That flight's running late too.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Then the ear a winner, well, they were waiting for me.
They must have looked at like the connection thing or whatever.
But anyway, I had from C twenty four to see
sixty five, which is like, I don't know how far
that is, but I ran it, and it was at
least a quarter of a mile, if not a half
a mile. I ran the whole thing in cowboy boots,
pulling a bag, and I was gassed by the time

(00:53):
I got done. I ran as fast as they could
the whole way, and I mean my lungs were burning,
my legs were aching. I was worried. I was getting
so tired that I was gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Trip and fall brawling. And somebody probably can catch it
on video and make it go viral.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Right, put it to music, speed it up, reverse it
travel fails right, right, old man, travel fails right. Anyway,
I met it. They said you Jack, I said yeah,
get in there. So they were holding the door for me.
But then I sat down, pouring sweat. My heart rate
according to my watch one sixty six, bathing so hard.

(01:30):
People next to me looking at me, like, are you
all right? I'm sure my face was beat red. That's
so unpleasant. Yikes, hey Jack, real quick, this would be
you running. I wish I'd have had that music playing while
I ran pulling my bag. I almost stumbled several times,
and cowboy wounds sprinting with the bag that every once

(01:51):
in a while would catch my heels. As I'm pulling it.
I thought, I'm gonna go down so hard the bag's
going to be on top of me. It'll spring open,
dirty laundry will go everywhere. You're right, you'll get up
and start cursing that it'll really go viral Armstrong and
