Let the Summer Games begin: Pentathanerd opening ceremony, darts
Having set out to cover my third Pentathanerd, I got caught up in its pageantry and rich tradition. I surveyed the field, assessed the competition, saw an opening, dropped the camera and crossed the line from objective journalist to fierce competitor. Almost as soon as I picked up the darts, a stinging sensation shot through my throwing arm – a hastily administered shot of steroids from some shady doctor who came out of nowhere. With a sudden horror I saw the seedy side of The Games. How could I have been so blind to legendary Pentathanerd athletes fraternizing with gamblers, their widespread doping, and the win-at-any-cost mentality that permeates sports? What’s worse, I did NOT win and was bested by dart throwers well over the line in more ways than one. See for yourself:

One the medal stand: Chris Locher “won” gold, yours truly settled for silver and Jon Rexeisen took the bronze medal. I’m renouncing my medal and going back to covering the games like the bulldog reporter I set out to be. Next up is the Chess championship round. Can you handle the truthiness?
