Racing Through Cole's Epic Hair: The Deschutes Dash

Cole's legendary mane achieved its final form that summer—a glorious flowing masterpiece that created its own microclimate and possibly had its own zip code! Race officials debated whether to classify it as extra wind resistance or an aerodynamic advantage as it streamed majestically behind him like a superhero cape. Spectators lined the riverside trail not just to cheer on runners but to witness the hair phenomenon that had become something of local legend. The medal ceremony nearly ended in disaster when Cole's hair briefly entangled with the award ribbon, creating a moment of panic until a quick-thinking volunteer performed an emergency hair extraction with minimal casualties. The truly impressive feat wasn't just completing the race, but Cole's ability to navigate the entire course without once tripping over his own follicular waterfall.
