    what was your PR?

    And why did you get into the totally over-saturated "energy drink" market?

    (1) My PR was 2:18:27 when I ran Nagano in 2004.

    (2) I feel that I have a worthwhile, if not controversial and aggressive brand identity. Through my Thai business partners (Siam Biotech) we've created something that is simple, tastes great and makes you bounce off the ceiling all day long. The market is not saturated if you do something better than the other guys.

    re: appearance fees?

    Why would anyone pay an appearance fee to an American marathoner with a PR of 212 - 214 only to watch him run 2:19?

    Charlie Spedding writes that for London 1989 he knew he couldn't run well because of injury. After telling Dave Bedford that he wouldn't start, Bedford gave him 1/4 of the appearance fee.

    I've known guys to make 2500 or so for a 2:18.

    Very true. The race I work for pays $2500 for the win, $1300 for 2nd, (prize money down to 6th), plus $1000 bonus on the line for a course record (2:17:03). 2:19flat is the #4 all-time performance at this race, in 21 years of being held.

    The notes above about what money is available would be accurate for our race. We offer comp entries into the low 2:30's, and travel money and/or lodging for runners with stronger resumes. I don't believe we've ever paid appearance money but then again we really don't go after anyone in the 2:12-2:14 range. We'd rather put together a strong field of runners in the 2:20-2:25 range than have one 2:15 guy and then a big gap. Not that we're only reaching out to the 2:20-2:25 guys, we'd like a strong field of guys in the 2:15-2:20 range but reality is that is a smaller group.
