Tough break for Tommy and Phil

He’s still got it… winning a big time race in a ‘pedestrian’ time.

This gave me a good chuckle. Can you imagine you run your heart out and some Olympian whose face you actually know just sit & kicks you down? Honestly, I'd love to have been the other guy. It's a good story for the grandkids!

Before the kiddos harp on his pedestrian 5K time: the race is 3.5 miles, not a 5K.
Someone convert that I’m too lazy.

Last 200m?

Does Centro actually work for Alyeska Investment Group? He's supposed to be an employee to run. If not, big scandal incoming!

Good for him! Running is the best. I am glad he is not just giving it up completely.
As for his celebration, I think the safe bet was the finger to the lips, shushing the haters like Bolt always had to do...

What's with the down votes? It was a joke. It's true he's supposed to be an employee, but short of their team using this to qualify for the international JP Morgan Chase Cup finals (don't know if they still hold one), no one cares.

Alyeska is run by Anand Parekh and he actually was a big funder of a local masters running team for awhile. (Chicago has a competitive club scene). As an example, he would fly his group to the Berlin Marathon on a private jet. He also has a daughter who runs at Stanford and a son at Michigan. The Chase Corporate Challenge often has hired dogs and their is rumored to be side betting between different hedge funds. Alos, the course is often inaccurate and more like 3.4 miles vs. 3.5 miles.

About as impressive as a 3:50 1500m.

Was wondering who'd say what about this. Centro has longtime connection to Alyeska :)
