Nothing. Half life 3 would be announced at the same moment Ryan Hall wins Boston. Cue internet crashing for a week.
Cue all runners tapering for the release date of Half Life 3. Due to internet crashing, Digital copies of Half life 3 don't even download or take days to download, thus the need to run for a physical copy.
Hall Gets injured attempting to taper after his marathon taper. He never gets his copy.
In the weeks and months preceding the physical release of Half Life 3, all professional track groups have been camping outside a Walmart. Many have been doping to their gills, wanting to get a copy of the game.
Cue June 26, the date when the Outdoor track and Field were supposed to be held, the Walmart opens. Bonds made over time through running are suddenly diminished. God save Alberto, He won't be able to DQ anyone here.
