I really have no opinion on Jim Walmsley. Hell, I didn't know who he was until the last couple of weeks. That said, 1:03 seems like a pretty respectable performance for an ultra-marathoner. Given my limited understanding of this guys background it seems like 2:12 would be a pretty good goal/target with 2:10/2:11 being a B+ type performance and sub 2:10 being an A type performance. It seems like he has a decent shot at a top 10 performance, an outside shot at a top 5 finish and on a crazy day could make the team.
I am not really clear on what your intent is here. You are also very hard to pin down. You were clearly dead wrong on your assumptions around converting the short course time, when proven wrong pivoted to "it doesn't really matter, it's all the same anyhow", then began to insinuate you were a fan but just weren't part of his "cult" before showing your true colors and talking about how you hope this thread gets pulled when he gets "smacked around" at the trials. I mean seriously, what the heck is your problem? Either root for the guy or don't... just don't actively root against someone for no reason.
