As someone who is significantly smarter than you, I am guessing that you have no notion of what grammar even encompasses. I did use the word slow multiple times, and this has nothing to do with grammar. I used the word for effect, and clearly it worked as it triggered a dullard to assume a sense of superiority as he remained inferior. As for your second comment, there is no sense that Ben had a bad day. Not at all. Ben ran OK actually, and if the OP had not said WOW as if Ben had an amazing performance, I likely would not have made the effort to educate some of you at all. Ben ran an OK time, but it is on the slow side for a national class runner these days, especially one who is nearing the end of his prime. If Ben had done this at age 20, I too would have said WOW.

Buddy, after wading through that word salad, rest assured that you’re certainly not as intelligent as you think you are.
Word salad is often used by the cognitively challenged to describe what they cannot comprehend. Your implicit admission of being obtuse was not recognized by yourself as you did not mean to expose your own ignorance.
Back to the topic. Ben is NEVER going to run faster than 27:50. Let us be real. Garrett Heath ran faster than Ben at virtually every distance and he ran 27:56, which is likely about Ben’s ceiling.
