Suffering in races?
Not running as fast as some of your friends?
Ages since you won a medal or trophy?

Then you need

Balaclava Man

Do you need Blaclava Man?

Balaclava man will guarantee to get you into a medal position in the race of your choice.

How does it work?
It's easy. You enter the race of your choice completing the application form as normal with your own personal and club details. Get your race number and pin it to your vest then proceed to do all of the pre race warm ups including stretches and jogging etc. Make sure to chat to as many people as possible to get your face and number recognised. Whilst in conversation ensure to speak with a muffled voice as if you have a cold (cotton wool inserted into your nostrils should do the trick).

With 2 minutes to the start of the race you take out your balaclava and place it over your head in full view of all other competitors and spectators. Explain to everyone that you have a bad head cold and that you need to keep as warm as possible during the race.

Now for the clever bit
With only seconds to go before the start of the race you jump behind the nearest bush as if going for a wee. There waiting behind the bush will be Balaclava Man dressed in the same shoes, socks and shorts as yourself. You will switch vests and he will take your place on the start line. You must lie in wait under cover for the duration of the race.

Balaclava Man will finish the race in medal position and immediately upon crossing the line will shoot behind the bush explaining to the crowds that the head cold is affecting his bladder. At this stage you will switch vests again. To add to the authenticity remember to hold your breath and spray yourself with water to make it look like you've been working hard. If it's a muddy race then rub mud on your legs and dirty your trainers. Keep the balaclava on. You are ready to emerge from the bush yourself exclaiming loudly "Ah...I needed that".

This trophy could be yours

Job's a good'n
As you are called to the rostrum to receive your trophy you peel away the balaclava to reveal your winning face to the world. You can hold your head high at the next training session. Job done.

Endorsements

Balaclava man worked for me. I was running crap but with the help of Blaclava man I managed to get a great position in the National Cross Country Championships. I was first home for my club and subsequently won an award at our Presentation Evening. I owe it all to Balaclava Man.
