one time in a 5k xc race, i was on pace for 16:00 through 2 miles (i had run 16:04 the week earlier). So 2 miles in 10:16, i had a 75m lead. All of the sudden at 2.5 miles i started to get dizzy. I was passed right before 3 miles, and basically walked the last 200m, and i couldn't stand up for about an hour afterwards. Ran about a 3:45 last 800. Final time was around 17:00.
Haven't seen japs run like that since 67 when king kong fought godzilla .

Can someone post up that commercial (Nike?) where the theme is "pain" and it has all of these athletes just breaking down...this one runner (triathlete?) pukes and just keeps running...a bike falls apart on the road...good stuff...
I'm horrified by myself, but I broke into an absolute, teary, and uncontrollable fit of laughter when the power walking started. I'm horrified by the pain that I know they're in, but it's also comical.
Please shoot me.

Honestly some of the best announcing ever done:
Galebach looking to cramp up. He's really hurting!
Oooh it's...he's so close here...really struggling. It looks like a cramp.
Tim Galebach! The crowd is urging him on! Kardenis...coming. Galebach just can't...get his legs to move. Kardenis sees it! And here comes Kardenis, Galebach going down. Kardenis will pass and Galebach goes down on the track. With...so close...Kardenis wins it. 15:30.13. Galebach can't get up. He was so clase close he was so impressive. Lambert coming around now...
Who was this guy?
what a wimp
Thanks, Rod!
Love this. The song's a Nine Inch Nails cover, yeah?
Correct, 2002 Hurt by NIN.
Reznor loved the cover by JCash and said "that music its not mine anymore" I guess....
