lol, should have been DQ'd at least twice during that fiasco of a race, then he starts running around with his arms out like airplane wings after the race, rofl.

As yes, since you've been there before, please tell us, how did you react when you broke 4?

Must have hired your typical average LetsRunner

LOL

Show me someone else who has reacted to breaking 4 like that in the last 15 years.... Face reality, he is a giant douche. Even Verbicas when he broke 4 in HIGH SCHOOL, just put his hands up in the air for about 1 second, then went and shook hands with the rest of the field. He did not go running around screaming like a weirdo making airplane gestures, after knocking down 1 runner, nearly toppling over another and cutting off 2 more during the race.

Yeah, this would be a reasonable request if he had actually been there before. Sorry, man.

I'm not saying it was humble. The guy was jacked up after having a great performance at his home meet, even if he did run like a jackass.

But I'm sure you know him very well and have had many conversations with him to testify that he is in fact a giant douche, right?

Alrighty, then...

If soccer players can act like that after EVERY goal, then a runner should be able to celebrate like that after breaking 4:00. BUT it would have been better if he had actually won. Seems weird celebrating a loss.

get out of my sport

Yep looks like he'll fit right in.

Used to room down the hall from him, total douche.

I don't understand everyone's reaction. I think it is great the someone was so excited about their performance. Usually I agree with letsrun, but this is obviously fueled by everyone's dislike of flotrack.

Seems like it's fueled by everyone's dislike of this guy who finished 2nd.

you guys are all nerds. Let him have some fun for once. People are way too respectful in this sport. I would do the same if I broke 4.

Nothing against Flotrack at all. It's probably frowned upon to give my honest response to that celebration.

Honestly, I have been questioning whether or not distance running is a true sport lately.

Born and raised a soccer player I turned to my running ability as an avenue to D1 athletics as it was almost a guarantee for me. Running at a grueling 4-minute place, +/- a few seconds, shows athletic ability but sometimes I wonder if running in ovals is actually a sport, an exercise competition or simply a measure of fitness. Slight variation between the groupings.

Seems you are confused between sports and 'games'.
