Mac recently went to Hawaii and brought back a rock with a petroglyph depicting a runner and gave it to T3. We can discuss why he didn’t offer to take the rest of the Pirana’s with him to Hawaii later, but for now we should think about the image on this rock: The Hawaiian system […]

23 December 2008 – Samsonite’s S.I.G.H. Miler at Lake Hefner This Tuesday Samsonite will be running his own Self-Indulgent Gratuitous Hundred Miler at Lake Hefner. The Brothers think he’s crazy, but he won’t be persuaded otherwise. Not sure if that’s the Sapper or the Pirate in him, but both are liable to get him killed […]

by admin on December 13, 2008
This morning the Team Piraña ran the Winter Solstice Half Marathon at Bluff Creek, Oklahoma City. It did not matter to them that the race wasn’t actually being held. It didn’t matter that the wind was blowing 40 mph and the temp was falling. It didn’t even matter that today is not actually the Winter […]
Samsonite Runs Boston (sort of)
by admin on November 29, 2008
Today Samsonite made his pilgrimage to Marathon Mecca and ran – unsupported – the course of the Boston Marathon. From the start line in Hopkinton to the most significant left hand turn in all of sports onto Bolyston, everything was epic. The course, even 7 months after the most recent race, is still well marked […]

The Pirañas read this with interest: With appropriate pomp and circumstance, still-the-President George W.

Hot Night at Coldplay
by admin on November 17, 2008
The Pirañas were present during the Coldplay concert at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City last night. It was an amazing show! Chris Martin was in full form and the stage show was one of the best the Pirañas have ever seen. Coldplay moved easily back and forth between older numbers and cuts from the […]
