Lungs of steel (or an inhaler, if yours aren't up to the task).

Size 15/Krusty the Klown feet.

Limbs roughly the weight of birds' bones.

Flexibility envied by Rubbermaid.

The ability to sustain tortured pain for hours on end without complaining (much).

Lightning-fast response time. A good start can make or break a race.

A training suit. Or ten. Or...twenty.

A competition suit to represent your school. We hope your school has cool colors. Neon green and mud brown don't go so well together, in our humble opinion.
