This is what MOTIVATION looks like

Every race is worth racing and discussing in the mind of the man who runs the race, at every level. And let's be honest, it was quite fun reading his dedication for this modest goal. Worthy thread.

Are you Jose? No joke, he was wearing breathe-rite and compression socks today. I ran a smart race, caught him at 4 km, and put 5 seconds on him by the finish. Alas, some other guy named Vicente already had a 30 second lead so I did not break the tape.

You are a liar.

There is no Jose 5 seconds behind you in the results.

And you didn't even sniff the tape because you finished 7th in 17:59 (17:53 chip time) almost 40 seconds behind Vicente.

True.

So not this guy called Jose, and not 5 seconds behind the Hardliar.

And he wrote his "report" to make it sound like he finished second.

Are you that vain, Ed? Yeah, I know you are.

You were looking great Hardloper! I thought you were going to take the tape! Fantastic!

Are you angry toward him? You sound a bit like a psycho stalker.

He finished 6/240 in a respectable time. He never pretended to be an elite.

Angry? Psycho stalker? Lol

I know the guy! xD We have talked a fee times.

Have you never had a friend/team mate talk crap and you called him out?

He didn't pretend to be elite but he said he was going for the win, going to defeat the previous winner, etc, in his typical arrogant/joking way, and then went on to run a crappy 17:59 to finish 6th xD

I think he knows who I am ;)

This is what INSANITY looks like...

I do like how this thread brought many of the insane together. TAA, Greg, etc. Very endearing.

I was actually talking about someone else, but changed the name to Jose anonymity and artistic effect. If you look at last edition's results (fall 2018) you can see the guy who won is also the guy who finished shortly behind me.

The course was very hilly and probably a bit long. I'm closer to 17:00 shape (last race 17:11 and Strava GAP was 5:30 pace for this one). Next time I create a race thread it will be purely about breaking 17:00 rather than place.
