"...Trails End marathon in Oregon. And for the first 24 miles of the race I was under two hour pace. And then, I died. And in the last two miles people came by me laughing saying 'Welcome to the marathon'..."
"And you'd think I'd learned my lesson but the second one I ran I was under two hour pace through 26 miles. And I was well under it, but I couldn't run under two hours for the marathon because about 150m from the finish line I passed out. And I wake up in an ambulance *mumbles, laughs* "
