Can everyone here match that?

I would hope that he majority of us could match that, but I don't think we would be able to do so at age 77. Nice job by Earl and hopefully I will still be running at that age.
Well I just ran a 200 in 29.9 the other day without a warm-up.
I must mention that I am less than half his age and have a lifetime PR of 22.5
So I don't think I am on pace to match his times at age 77.
Great post fred!
Earl Fee has the 5 year records for the 800:
Age 65--2:14.33
Age 70--2:20.52
Age 75--2:36.28
I find this an interesting example of the aging process.
What were his PR's earlier in life just out of curiousity?
A 2:14 at age 65? Holy shit

Dang. I am NOT worthy. Hell, I can't even remember the last time I broke 8 for a mile & I'm a mere 53.
Orville, there's a 70+ fellow here in SE Mich who has been riding bikes since the late 40's, TJ Hill. He's all the further I need to look for cycling inspiration. On top of being a first-rate cyclist still, he's a group leader on mtn bike rides and more than full of terrific stories.
Between Earl and Ed, Canada has the M70+ events locked up from 800 on up (with the 300 hurdles thrown in for good measure!)
I'm almost 50 and I think I could beat those times. At 77 I think not.
It's the 200-meter time that really impresses me.
I can race a 10K at his 800-meter pace, but I would have to work my 32-year-old butt off to break 30.72 for 200 meters. I could do it, but not by much.
