Pretty sure this is not governor Tim Walz. You don't go from running 10 miles just under 10 min pace in October to running a 10K at 7:30 pace in November. There appears to be another Tim Walz in Minnesota who is actually quite good.
It was the 10k. Who knows what his actual PR is because he was running most of his races in Mankato, where I'm sure not all of them end up on Athlinks, but his best on there were 21:43 for a 5k and 45:32 for a 10k around 50-51 ten years ago. He age grades best in the mile, where he ran 6:17 at 52. Given he probably doesn't have the time (or have the time then when he was a Member of Congress) to run more than 30 miles a week or so, impressive times.
This is why I question the Turkey Trot time. His times in his early 50s are respectable but they're not great. But 46:xx at age 61 is outstanding. It's the kind of time Bill Rogers ran at that age. I would have easily beaten him in his 50s but I couldn't touch 46:xx now (62).
I don't think you younger guys understand what getting older does to your speed.
his times translating from early 50s to early 60s don't seem likely. but maybe he got on TRT and lost a bunch of weight. it's definitely not impossible.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz decided to run the Saint Paul Turkey Trot. He won the M60-64 age group and ran a 46:47 time, which is an age graded score of 70. On what appeared to be a legit, maybe even slightly long, course too! Tim Walz is faster than many people here. Who wants to see Rojo travel to Minnesota to race Walz next year. I think Walz would win!
No way I lose the the joke of a human being that is Tim Walz. If he challenges me to any race - even a nude match race, I’ll take it.
Rojo calling out Tim Walz as a "joke of a human being" is right up there with Pete Hegseth calling out Mark Kelly on his military credentials.
he was called out for how he displayed his service medals (out of order) & not the credentials themselves. Either you can't read or you have TDS (I'm betting on TDS)

Hilarious. Keyboard warriors are slower than an aging liberal politician. MAGAs go home devastated. Maybe they can rage about military fitness standards or something.
Lol you have no proof they are slower, but you just create a reality that makes you feel better. Do better, also I'm not MAGA, but this thread is utterly embarrassing to scroll through.
The commie is my age. He can outrun me now after a 50 year, 105,000 mile training career
I was in the Army for 20 years, I ran the Army 10 mile run for 8 years, was he there? Where was he when it really mattered and why do people make a big deal out of his fresh legged older performance now?
What were his times when we were at the competitive age when it really mattered? Who cares?
