He has also studied abroad in Europe and is a fancy, fancy man. A true allrounder, and smooth with the highest class ladies.

Bill Rodgers would disagree with you.

. . . which is one reason that "old school" is a more sensible label than "blue collar." Lots of "old school" types have pretty fancy backgrounds.

Let's adopt him as the new Mayeroff.

That's silly. Three marathons in eight months is no big deal, especially when he's presumably not peaking for the first, which apparently was just a rabbitting job that turned into a win against mediocre competition.

Might be mediocre field but close to his PR so it will tax him, unless of course he is a 2.05 guy laying low... DREAMER

If he ran 2:14 last year and is in better shape (presumably) this year, how hard would 2:16 be?

Was there prize money?

I would assume a mid-sized marathon that has rabbits and brings in 2:16ish guys is going to have prize money

OK, so what was the prize money? Are we talking $500 or a couple K? Eggleston is a 2:14 guy, FWIW.

Better than Greg Meyer but yet they always use his overracing as a positive.

Not really huge but it loos like he would pick up $2K plus anything they might have paid him to rabbit:

Marathon/Overall

1st - $6,500 2nd - $4,000 3rd - $2,000 4th - $1,000 5th - $500

So he should have picked up 1st overall, whatever American and time bonuses, and rabbiting fee.

How did he do at Boston and New York Ftard?

Wasn't there maybe an Olympic boycott around the time Rodgers was running his best? Jacka55
