I'd continue the ENTIRE RACE... I'd finish in excrutiating pain, which the crowd would see. This is good because I would need witnessess. Then comes the hard part. I know I'm already in pain, but manually tripping myself is hard. Specially for me, .... incident of doing so on concrete in the 3rd grade, but i digress.. I'll trip and fall and skin myself up BAD. But unlike other people I'm not going let myself Die. Remember there are witnesses here, Someone should come to my aid. Now They bring me to the hopital as I tell them of the pain I felt and how I took a great fall, then mumble incoherent speech until they put me under. They'll do their best work on me to get me in tip top condition. When I get done I'll say how "I Still want to RUN!!!!!!!!" and they'll love that. I'll be a news story, the whole country will here about it and fall in love with me. Soon I'll be a commentator or something of the nature. Of course there is this thing called the medical bill, which only got worse from my "fall." Well thats where good ol' America comes in. I sue them. Who would I use? I would use
Shandell, Blitz, Blitz & Bookson as my Law Firm (link goes to the TFP thread about them, their link is on the thread). I sue them for not letting me be aware of the condition I got in my leg that caused all this to happen. I sue them of the mental anguish of this unknown side effect to cause me to lose the race (even if I was in last, it MIGHT have been different without the pain, no one can argue that). Then naturally I would sue them for something incredibly stupid, that you just wouldn't expect(cause you KNOW thats the one that will positively win in America). Now I have witnesses(remember them?) to show how I got in pain and took a great fall. But sadly since I didn't win, the camera wasn't on me, so there is no "PROOF" that I made myself fall, as I only had one try and couldn't exactly practice the manuever. I also have a new Job, I have the love of the country. A Fanbase to see how I am feeling, if I have started to run again, and how I have inspired others to go on, even through their hardships that they have had. I would have... well I wouldn't have been called a quitter.
Last of all,
I wouldn't have to pay my medical bill.
