There are posters here who don't know the past tense of "run" (ran/have run) or who think Jakob is "washed." Some who think "bi-carb is just as bad as doping." Or the one old guy thinks "doping doesn't work on Africans" and another guy only posts "songs about ..." threads. There is the "Nico Young Burn in Hell" guy and the "Rich in CA" guy as well.
So yes, I am not perfect, but I am not the "worst."
p.s. None of us know what the title of this thread was supposed to be, so rather than rag on me, just answer the question...

Come on. Rich in CA is great.
Even Ruxton can appreciate this, and hopefully with a stiff drink
Upvoted! I loved that video/song. Thanks for sharing it.
It struck a chord (no pun intended) because that kid in the video felt so much and experienced so much in a single day. We have all had crazy days like that.
And the run at the end of the day (after the freak out in the meadow) was spot on.

what did you drink while listening to it?
I myself enjoyed a nice white Claw with a tequila, all the while injecting caffeine and a Vodka directly into my veins, sitting in a Sports Bar.
Then he should go time trial if he doesn’t want traffic.
I think many of the old timers like me remember when not everybody was allowed to finish distance races—especially indoors. Conferences and meets had rules to prevent slower runners from getting in the way of the racing or needlessly adding traffic.
I was personally pulled at 3k of an indoor 5k as I wasn’t in the top ten of a conference indoor championship. The same year, I was forced off the track prior to being lapped by Jonah Koech in another indoor 5k (despite being on PR pace).
Women’s indoor races are typically the worst for lapped runners interfering with the racing, but last night was about as bad as I’ve ever seen. There’s no reason whatsoever for any elite distance race to allow for this kind of interference.
Meet officials should proactively pull people in any race that’s the fast heat, is a championship or invitational, and/or is a record attempt. These aren’t participation events.
Yes I remember when I was a kid back in the UK there was a race called 'Devil take the hindmost race' where after a few laps the last runner at the end of each lap had to drop out.
Also, to people who thinks having lapped runners on the track is a crime against humanity, listen to what Grant said at 5:05 in the video.
"It was actually nice to have someone to chase for a little bit and it turned out pretty well because I was not passing them on the curves, mostly just on the straights..."
it's interesting that this is how he remembers it. If you watch the video, starting at about 11:35, he runs more than a lap (close to a lap-and-a-half) on the line between lanes 1/2, or all the way into lane 2, including the curves.
I'm not to going calculate exactly how much time he lost for that, but he did spend a fair amount of time off the rail. (not massive amount of time, but can you imagine if he'd missed the record by 0.1 and it cost him a second for the extra distance?)

You're always so thoughtful and positive... the kind of guy you want to punch in the face.
