Winners!

As you were leaving great comments on why you deserve a free pair of running shoes, I started thinking about how to pick the winners. The dilemma I was faced with is that I know some entrants, which inherently introduces some bias. Not a fan of bias.

Soooo, what is an MBA student to do? What is it that they teach us to use to solve all of the world's problems with?* EXCEL! All you of you were assigned a number (in order of submission) and I entered you into a little Randomizer I put together (randbetween function for you excel geeks). That left each person with exactly a 21.43% chance of winning. Not bad!

Without further ado, here are the winners:

Ben, Robin and Leslie, please e-mail me at davidrschoenberg gmail dot com. I will put you in touch with the Vibram people, who will send you the shoes. You have until 8/14 to contact me. If I haven't heard from you by then, I will choose another winner as a replacement.

CONGRATULATIONS!

*(that's an exaggeration, of course)

    Of course I won! It was a damn good story. And 100% true. Random luck is always on my side!

    Thanks Dave.

    Ben,

    I have not heard from you, so I had to pick an alternate.

    Alternate: Peter Lubbers.

    Leslie,

    I still need your e-mail address.
