Grind up one of every official state bird, and make it into a hot dog.

Still not enough info. The race is legally a tie if the times are within a certain (I think a millisecond) interval, and with runners this similar in ability, the probability that nobody wins is non-zero.

I like that you include your art in the photograph. Pleasant as they are, I might not have recognized your breasts out of context, but I know I've seen your watercolors before.
