    LOL, you're so right. I'll bet most grown men wouldn't have the balls to say anything rude to her face, and she's in much better shape than many women out there. Her confidence is commendable.

    Would have been some shit if she won!! haha.

    The fourth picture looks like shes trying to pinch one off!

    congrats on trying.

  4. Equalizer says:

    Yah… GO Savannah!…

  5. Digitsis says:

    3 seconds behind the winner? Still she could probably kick most peoples asses at the 100

  6. jozef says:

    imagine her losing the weight… then she would be first

  7. LOL says:

    I bet she’s got endurance too. She may not whip your ass in a sprint, but when she caught you, damn you’d be in for a pounding if she wanted to!

  8. Panchan says:

    Hell yeah. It’s good to see that some people are open for trying things that isn’t there specialty. If you ask me, she deserves some kind of medal for at least, and giving it her all as you can clearly tell she’s doing in those pictures. Well done! If I ever had the chance to meet her, I would shake her hand and congratulate her for trying her hardest.

    Kudos for trying! Most people are afraid of new challenges.

  13. somethings says:

    absolutely not digitsis- a 3 second difference is huge in the 100. If those women were running high 10s- low 11 second sprints, a 13-14 second run is terrible.

    Most as in the entire cast of More To Love.

    She’s Samoan. She’ll destroy us.

    Yes, it’s very awesome. Most would just give up, but she had that dream and determination. Good for her. Instead of giving up, she found something else and went after it full force. Reminds me of the movie Cool Running. That is, they wern’t able to be sprinters, but found a way into the Olympics with bobsleding.
