I was talking to him over on Cougarboard, and have invited him here in the past, but after our latest boardmail, he is too good for the likes of us.
This year at Oceanside 1.2 ironman he did a 5:08. Damn. Then he also ran a 19:09 in a 5 k. What the hell. And a 1:22 in a half marathon. THe guy makes me look bad. and slow. not that I need much help. |

It could be that heavy gold cross around your neck that is slowing you down.

My brother who is not the athlete you two are, has done a 4:22, but he's never broken 1:22 on a half. Sadly 5:11 is my best, but in my defense I had been injured for eight weeks prior to the race and was unable to do anything but hobble to the finish line, but no excuses my times make you fast guys look better. If you didn't keep others around like me, what would you do to boost your egos.

You could do it with your running. I'll trade my swimming for your running. Next weekend I'm in Lubbock with horrible humidity and hills for running. Joy. My friend who does it told me he's never finished it without going to the medical tent for 2. I asked 2 what? He replied two IVs. So wish me luck, as setting a PR won't happen there. Despite being old and slow, I finished under 6 every time, but not under 5:30. I'm usually right around 5:30, not exactly setting the world on fire. When I discuss with my bro, he reminds me, "Gee, I've almost never gone slower than 5 hours." [he's usually a 4:40 guy, but my legs don't hold up for the run][likely excuse I know]. Show off. I hate all you fast people, may you rot in hell. Halves only take about 15 hours per week to train for, so you could do it any time.
