I was chatting with him and to my surprise he was telling me he BQ'd in Chicago like 5-6 years ago, when he said his time (Something like 3:20-3:30) i was confused how he bq'd as it didnt' seem fast enough, he said it used to be based on your PLACE in a big race like that rather your time is this a lie or what?
He actually seemed really knowledgable towards the marathon and has never come across as a liar, has this ever been the case?
