What the Hell is happening to German Fernandez?

Ah, I understand. You knew all along that it was an old thread where the only new comment was about foot-strike hemolysis, but were responding in advance to the comments that you anticipated would soon follow. Very clever.

In that spirit, here's my response to your next response: "No, YOU'RE an idiot."

Nice post Mr Calendar, very nice indeed.

And what is even funnier: Just Checking (should be: Just Being a Douche) mocked the other guy for listing his very impressive, and verifiable, running credentials and experience, and then mind bogglingly decides to go down the road of: "I have some special DIRECT CONNECTION to German, but I won't say who I am or how that is true......"! as if we care, believe him, or it would matter in any way to the discussion at hand. To borrow Just Checking's language: "oooooooh......'DIRECT CONNECTION'......I just LOOOOVE that part of your post."

Hey, JC, say Hi to German for us. Tell him we wish him well!

I was told that German Fernandez has super low ferratin as a result of "foot strike" hemodialysis.

I was not aware that German Fernandez had kidney disease.

The word you are looking for is hemolysis.

Not that I agree 100% with John, but learn to show a little respect. I didn't know his accomplishments until a quick search. He sounds pretty damned accomplished to me...John Perry owned for a while the Big Eight record in the 880-yard run and had a successful run of fortune beyond college, going undefeated in three races in Europe, placing fifth at the 1968 Olympic trials and then placing in the USA championships every year from 1966 to 1971, placing as high as fourth three times.

Understanding the sport is one thing. Understanding how the internet works is another. This thread was from February. No one in the thread even mentioned the Pre meet until AFTER this little tantrum of yours. Remember to read the dates of posts before you freak out.

1) Please see who brought this thread back up.

2) Please note WHEN they brought this thread back up.

3) Next, note their explicitly posted stance since then.

4) Finally, get a clue.

I'm sorry I'm such a douche. I just.... can't..... help it...... MOM BRING ME MORE CHEERIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, that most pathetic of all posting tactics - handle stealing. You must be very proud!

You think it's just the Internet you azzzhole. I am watched when I leave my house, when I'm in my car, when I go get coffee. You're 3rd.

To "just another" you are correct, the condition is hemolysis. The low iron condition is also called March hemoglobinurea.

One of the easiest ways to detect it is to do a ferratin level blood test. Low ferratin is an indicator.

It's not a kidney disease but A doctor who was not a sports medicine specialist wanted to perform a kidney biopsy on a distance running friend of mine who had just finished a 30 mile run a couple of days before a routine physical. He had blood in his urine. Mike told him "no" and was normal in a few days. I'm not and never have been a distance runner but understand that blood in the urine is very common.

Does German still have low ferratin? I don't know but I know that he had it at OSU after that incredible freshman year in which he was running through an ankle/foot injury.

If you are such an emotional wreck that you can't take a paycheck (or do a friend a favor in Scott's case) and rabbit without it throwing you into an identity crisis, it is amazing you did anything in this sport and not surprising you didn't do more. "

Reply to SM,

Actually I'm not a bad team player. I served my Country as A Marine Corps Officer, Naval Aviator and Marine A-4 Attack pilot and managed to work in a couple of CISM Track World Championships in the 800M and a few USA Championship finals in between my military duties. Didn't have much opportunity to improve on my 1:46.6 which was the third race in two days with no "rabbits". As to being a good athlete, does number one in the Physical Fitness Test in the 3rd Marine Air Wing count?

As to emotional wreck. I flew 165 combat missions in Vietnam as an Attack pilot in VMA 311 and never looked back with any regrets. Later became a senior Captain for the airlines flying the B767 when I retired.

I never quit anything and still don't think a quality runner should rabbit his own event. Like I said before if a 800m guy wants to run a 1:53 for the milers, he should pace every race that day for his workout.

John

ha ha ha.....That was perfect. There's nothing better than when some nobody makes assumptions about another poster that are 100% dead WRONG. Classic. I believe the phrase the douchey millennials are looking for right about now to describe what just happened to them via Mr Perry is: TOTAL OWNAGE (oh, pardon me, PWNAGE ).

That picture screams "rentboy".

I heard GF was enrolling at UCSB Biomechanical Engineering graduate program and maybe med school.

Any updates on German Fernandez?
