I am not an excitable fella but watching Solinsky break 27 was the biggest emotional roller coaster I have been through in years. I was yelling all alone in my room and than sobbing and shaking while watching him celebrate. Considering the hype and everything leading up to this race I seriously would have to say this is the most climactic and tear-jerking sporting event I have witnessed in a long time. As soon as I saw it I slapped on my shoes, stepped over my drunken roommates, and ran for miles in a strange back-shivering ecstasy.
All I have to say is - Holy shit.
Any one else have a similar experience?
