I was watching the Hartford marathon on Saturday and saw a bunch of the top finishers. In particular, the guy who finished 10th right behind the first girl caught my eye. According to the results, he is 24 year old Stephen Paddock from Glastonbury, CT (not to be confused with the Las Vegas shooter). He ran a 2:41:18. I'm telling you though, this guy was a big boy and did not look like the typical runner. I won't go into details about his appearance, but he was wearing a long sleeve shirt. Just wait until the photos come out you will see. Anyways, I saw him at mile 6 pretty far in front so I have no reason to think he cheated.

Stephen if you're reading this, you are a hero to all of the bigger guys who want to be fast. Keep doing your thing.

Great genes....Charley Paddock won three Olympic gold medals in 1920, so STFU!

Darn. This was my chance to say he did it "on pure hate". Darn.

re: Not that big

You're right. The guy that I saw I am pretty sure was behind the first girl and it definitely was not that guy. It was also not the guy who finished behind Paddock because i could find him online. now i want to know who this guy was

It must have been a half mary runner sprinting it. They have the same finish and start at the same time. 2:42 is a great half mary time I ran a little bit slower for full finishing in 5:56 to get under the time limit. Which is a better result? Discus.

Your welcome,

No I saw this man right after the bridge probably at around 25.7. The half marathon did not go where I saw him. If my memory serves, he was running right around the first girl and I approximated his finish to be 2:41-2:42 (did not actually see him finish). Even though the picture posted was from 2017, I doubt tubby was actually Stephen Paddock, as he looked much older than 24 y/o also.
