With all the focus on the DQ controversy at USAs, one of the biggest results of the weekend went overlooked. Weldon ran 2:58:53 for 2nd place in his age group (35th overall) at the Cowtown Marathon in Fort Worth, TX.
And apparently he ran the whole thing without a watch. Congrats Wejo!
Not bad! Take a photo of you next to your new 26.2 bumper sticker and be sure to give the thumbs up. Your LRC fans would love that.
Good running

Splits?
Don't call it a comeback.
Gives hope to all of us over the hill runners.
Wejo's back baby!
Will Wejo now retire and do triathlon instead?

Wejo, you acquitted yourself semi-honorably and now deserve our coaching. Let us know about when you want a schedule for a more serious sub 2:40 marathon next time out.
Any photos? Did he look relaxed?
After he used the portal potty he did.

You don't know jack...that's actually pretty darn good for a 40 year old.
no photos. he must have run shirtless or with a celebrity exemption from photos.
on very low mileage too.
let's not forget we're talking about a 28:06 10k guy..

I wonder if he noticed Kip out there. I hear he finished in 2:57.

For a woman maybe.
Sub 2:40 would be good for a 40 year old man

You raise a good point
No watch, no photos show up under his name, "doesn't know his splits"
Is it possible Wejo kipped the course because he knew LetsRun would be following along?
And if he's willing to cheat now, who's to say he wasn't "back then"
