None of my questions to spur discussion are working....and I'm just starting another night of work where I will invariably check this thing one other time......... I can see how this message board can be addictive.
So in order to make this more interesting here is another attempt at getting a question started that will atleast be interesting instead of just a time and email....
Optional Question attempt #3
Name your favorite athlete "name", and the team they played for...it most certainly does not have to be your favorite athlete or an athlete that you like even...
Coming from Indiana, I'm a huge basketball fan so my two favorite athlete names are
1. Mookie Blaylock: Atlanta Hawks (great defender and a three point threat..currently not in the league)
2. God Shamgod: (went to Providence College, I think he plays basketball in China now)
So you can answer questions, take a stab at guessing Fasil's time, or do both. Please look at list before guessing as some people are emailing the same time.....
Fasil appreciates all the well wishes....He is already in London getting ready for the race..I fly out Wed... If anyone has specific messages..you can email me directly and I will pass'em on.
BTW, Shots out to Peter Gilmore who is running the Boston Marathon tomorrow....
N=61,
Median guess is
2:12:24
“Bizuneh London Marathon Time Sweepstakes Update"
2:08:51
Negative splits ftw! (Fasil must have gotten a new email address that I did not know about, I’m not sure why he went with the name LukeTheRunner)
”9 minute PR…….”,….. I would think that this might be optimistic…in fact, Our mom might find this time optimistic… I hope you are right, but In fact I think that many of l the guesses are skewed to the optimistic end…..I guess that it might be reasonable to skew to the faster times as you are responding to the runner’s brother, but, give your best guess…not best possible scenario guess….

(This is the youngest Biz, Ben , at 17….hopefully he doesn’t win as I don’t want any claims of collusion, + this kid owes me….a little more that $50)
2:10:34
I now suspect a likely clustering of guesses around the guy from MIT as everyone will assume that he got his guess by using a statistical algorithm that plugs in hieght, weight, vital statistics, PRs, prerace diet, climate, # of times getting laid in the past year (Fasil might hurt in this department) and figured a time based on this statistical algorithm………Thanks for the support!

”Gotta go w/ my lucky #s, and I hope Fasil doesn't run 2:21:12! Hope he represents the USA and New Balance well”
” ran against him in high school... giving him a 6 minute pr... good luck!”
Thanks for support. Shots out to everyone in our hometown of Indianapolis, especially Ben Davis High School! I still own the Columbus East high school course record (the only one that Fasil did not break)…granted it was a dual meet in the middle of nowhere…but I still got it and noone can take that away from me…I’m pathetic
