Ben Blankenship ran 3:51.34 (mile conversion) for 9th place!

So does that mean el g is a 3:42.5 miler? I converted his 1500 time to mile. So now we have a new world record. May as well throw out the mile as an IAAF distance since all the fastest times are just conversions.

No, but seriously you have a run a mile in x:xx.xx to say you are an x:xx.xx miler.

End of story.

2:10 is a great marathon.

for an american yes a good time.

from a world perspective its not, in 2015 150+ ran under 2:10

2016 by year end looks to be more than a 160...

That's a ridiculous number. Gotta wonder how many of those were on dope.

3:34 gets you jack squat on the world stage...9th place attests to that fact. At least Robby ran 3.46! Oh, wait, never mind.

Dude. He also made the Olympic Final and placed like 8th. So 3:34 can get you 8th in the entire world. Pretty legit.

8th in the world when each country can only send 3 athletes, some athletes with faster times in the heats do not advance because they did not place high enough, and in an Olympics where seemingly every race has multiple DQs, falls, and tons of shoving.

I'd kiss it for a dollar
