‘The Freeze’ prevails again, thanks to a stumbling fan

Durran Dunn, who opened an Anytime Fitness location last August at Parkaire Landing, is continuing his alter ego role as “The Freeze” at Atlanta Braves games this season.

The former track sprinter gives a fan a very long head start in a footrace around the outfield warning track.

While Dunn occasionally hasn’t been able to eclipse his slower competitor, the way he crossed the finish line first at Monday’s Braves-Yankees game was truly novel.

It looked as though “The Freeze” was about to be bested, but the fan ran out of gas and stumbled just a few yards away from victory.

The ballpark interlude became national news (Deadspin and Yahoo! Sports accounts) as the fan missed out on more than a chance for a $100 gift card.

  1. I must admit that Dunn is fast. Even if the guy had not stumbled, it would have been a close finish, despite the head start that Dunn gave him.
