NEVER MEET YOUR HEROES

Speaking of Olympic marathon champions, Joan Benoit Samuelson is also a very nice person. Met her at the end of a race a few years ago, we finished within seconds of each other. She asked how my race had gone, etc. Genuinely good person.

I don't know who he's talking about, but JH was incredibly nice when I met her.

JH also doesn't fit the general description OP gave, only decent in college but excelled as a pro. JH was a high school legend, and was certainly more than just "decent" in college.

I've been lucky. Every track athlete I've met, from medalist down to barley scraping by on a minimal shoe deal, have been very humble and open to discussion.

They're people. "Some's a-------, some aint, that's the score."

All ya'll using JH as if we should know off the dome whose initials that is?

Doesn't matter. The OP is talking about Purple Tongue.

Is JH update?

JH is Jordan Hasay. But I've talked to her several times and she was always nice, so I think the OP was talking about someone else.

Uh ever heard of JH?

Rowbury won NCAA indoor. That's far better than "decent."

Yeah, I highly doubt it was Jordan. I've heard nothing but good things about her and if she acted the way the op described, something would have come out sooner.

I don't know how I missed that Deena thread at the time (thread linked in a previous reply). I've met Deena and she was so nice. She also was amazing on her Letsrun q&a. I don't think asking for a comped entry is of any significance.

Nice plagiarism, boulderrunningbro. Exact post you pasted here was written about Bill Murray years ago. Sounds about like Murray on a bad day, but not like Centro.

I didnt write JH

I think you had an unusual experience. I've met lots of successful runners and only one of them was rude to me.

I think this could be JH's former best friend AP.
