1:15:38 half marathon = $1,000

Matt is a 1:06 half marathoner (Casino Niagara & Valley of the Sun); he is from Maui originally. Times don't mean anything, I am sure he did what he had to do to win on a difficult day.

the guy in third has run a 1:09

I don't care if he ran a 1:45. It's a race, he won, he deserves every penny, end of story. People who equat times to whether or not it was a good race are probably the same ones who think Peyton Manning is the greatest QB ever cuz he threw 49 TDs. Racing is about winning. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't give a rats ass about PRs or WRs.

WTF is this..??..Common sense prevailing ??..Shocking!

Sorry OMBTS. I forgot to throw in a few "biatches" and gay references. Oh, and I completely forgot the whole drug thing, and at least one line about Ritz or Pre. Shameful.

Sand marathon !!!

Did you already run in the sand ?

You also didnt rag on Wetmore and Salazar...Dont let it happen again...lol

I remember racing against holton in highschool. I don't think he even broke 10:00 in the 3200. He must have done some serious training to get down to 1:06.

And when there was no crawfish, we ate sand.

You ate sand?

We ate sand.

When you break the world record you take the human species into unknown territory. When you win the local foot race you're another footnote in history AT BEST. Winning is only important when history and high performance meet as in the Olympics. And football?! Please, it's not really a sport--it's a contrived game which is OK, but it's not pure like boxing, swimming, wrestling, running.

Bum said it well!! As well, there a lots of "workout kings" who can never do well in competition once the pressure is put on them. As a whole ( a few, but not many exceptions), people also remember and treasure Olympic Gold medals vs. world records.

crawfish ? what the f* is that ?

Sorry man, world records are second to titles. Period. If you set a WR on the way to an Olympic gold, world championship, or big (non-rabbited) marathon (are there any?) then you've really accomplished something.

Setting a WR with rabbits at night at just the right altitude with Jupiter aligned with Mars, stepping on the inside white line every third step really isn't the greatest accomplishment on Earth. Olympic gold would be.

Some people race to set PRs, but never reach their full potential because they don't just let it hang out trying to get a win.

I'll make it simple for you. Who was the 10K WR holder going into the Tokyo Olympics? Fuck if I know either. Who won gold? Billy Mills. Ask Billy which he would rather have, a WR that has been eclipsed about 2 dozen times by drugged up runners behind rabbits, or an Olympic gold in one of the most exciting finishes in history.

It's sad that you still don't know what this is all about yet. There's time, young man.

I know a few people who ran there and it was an extreemly windy day winds up to 20MPH. I heard it was atleast 5 minutes slow due to the wind.

Yeah, how pathetic!....and that 2nd place guy is older than dirt!....he doesn't deserve $500 for that effort....

But I'll take it as a nice 20th wedding anniversary present!!

Son, you've got a pantyhose on your head.

I can top that. Two weeks ago I "ran" 1.5 miles in

9:47 (nope, no typo) to pick up $600 (again, no typo). The city I work offers it yearly for any employees willing to give it a go. To make it even sadder, the next guy was a minute in back of me. I refuse to tell you where I work.

Pushup,

Who are you. You are right, I ran 10:01 for 2 miles in highschool. I have worked my ass off and have run 1:06 twice and 2:23. E-mail me, I would love to know who you are.

Matt

This is the same guy and I think loved with wejo for a while.
