I was going to give it to Amy Cragg, but I'm now convinced it was Chris Barnicle. Dude ran with guts and determination for the entire 26.2 and never gave an inch. I expect big things out of him over these next 4 years and will go ahead and put him in the contenders category for 2020.

Barnicles race walk moves were sweet as was singlet. IDGAF
-
Yes, he looked (and probably felt) like crap nearly the entire time, but he was determined. The winners had showered and had a bite to eat, and this guy was still out there suffering. One of the great DFLs. Well done.
-
I am disappointed and disgusted that LRC did not get a post race interview with Barnicle.
-
my buddy works LAFD, he was down there watching the race and he keeps telling me there's this homeless looking guy wearing what looks like Big5 clothing out on the course...with a bib...in the race, no bandit. I'm like, you sure? he said this guy keeps coming by, but it's like he's hobbling down the street chasing the bus or something...haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Love you Barny, thanks for the laughs
-
hahaha here is proof of him "chasing the bus"

Rumor is that he submitted a 12er of PBR for fluid stations and USATF denied him? Please confirm
-
Wait... what? I missed what this is about. Did this guy get inured or something pre-race and just walk the whole thing? I honestly am confused.

Pretty sure he qualified awhile ago but quit running after. Now he just smokes a ton of weed instead of training. -
I'm surprised he wasn't wearing Vans.
-
good god man, i'm waking up at least 3 diff neighbors laughing. PLease, PLEASE, somebody tell me the PBR story is legit. that would go down in history.
-
Is this the same Barnicle. This happened in MA.

I can confirm that Barnicle did attempt to submit PBR as his aid station beverage, but was denied. He spent a good deal of the race walking, it was awesome.
-
How many OT medals do you have, clown? He beat Ritz and Chelanga today. Have you?
-
This needs a front page article. Run/Walk method works well. He finished under 4:00 hours! I need a copy of the training.
Any more video of this courageous runner? The TV coverage didn't show him. -
He was still faster than my first marathon. 3:45. Not bad at all. Off no training whatsoever?
-
Venice bum, if serious, please contact the Brojos, this needs to be a front page article. I will be drinking a PBR tomorrow in Barnicle's honor.
-
1:24/2:21 split
5:30 pace the first 3 miles before the wheels started coming off -
The guy has a 1:02 half PR. He probably could have run 2:30 w/o training if he was trying.
