Earlier this year one of my friends mentioned that a local running store was looking for people to profile in its upcoming commercials.
As it turns out, this was the store that I wandered into and purchased my very first pair of running shoes. One could say that I wandered in there as a cyclist and walked out a runner.
So after filling out an online form where I essentially told my story, I was brought in for a screen test and ultimately chosen as one of the people to be profiled.
I’m pretty psyched to be part of the campaign. What’s cool is that I’ve been getting random emails/Facebook messages/Tweets from friends who have seen me on TV. But the best part for me was watching the Tour de France today and seeing the commercial myself.
While my words were twisted a little in post production, I’m pretty happy with the way the ads came out.
There are two versions, one with just me:
And another, longer version where I’m profiled with a few others:
Way to go! That's awesome!
