Not particularly. Past through twenty at 2:55, then hit the wall at
21, severe cramping in leg muscles, had to hobble in to finish. It
was hot.

Another shot in late Nov., trying for a sub 4:00. BAA qualifier for
my age. cooler course might do the trick.


If you run Boston, I'll cheer your on! We live on Heartbreak Hill.

Twenty-six miles and change in four hours. Let's see now, 26 divided by four
= 6.5. ****, man, I can WALK that fast.

That Hungarian *woman*, Constantina Tomescu-Dita, won the Beijing Olympic
marathon in 2 1/2 hours and she's a babe.

Let's see Neal, how old are you? Bring it on, any time any place, any
distance. You're starting to sound like Bobsprit. Big talk, no
action.

Take it easy on old, decrepid Wilbur. Why not challenge him to a bicycle
race and give him a head start? Make it interesting and put some money on
it.

I have thought about it a bit and I really believe a bicycle race the length
of a marathon would be a fair and just contest. Rickety old Wilbur could
fish a bicycle out of the dumpster and with all his wheezing, coughing and
defunct liver could do the 26 miles in about the time it takes someone to
run it (4 hrs or so). I'm sure I could talk deluded Wilbur into the
challenge if he's liquored up enough. I'd say time trial it, no drafting,
each man on his own. Even giving Wilbur a head start would be a sure bet,
it's not like he can hold 24+ mph (on a non-aero bike) for over an hour or
he's a contender for some sanctioned cycling championship or that's he a top
rated cyclist for his age group and those 20 years younger, let alone a
locally noted triathlete. No way on that front. I'll even run a sag wagon
for poor dilapidated Wilbur and pick up the pieces as he goes along.

How about it?

I believe it is time to exit the puppet show since I may be the only
carbon based entity in same.

I guess you think Redbeard is my sock puppet? Wrong! I don't know who
Redbeard is but I like his suggestion. You seem to think you're fit because
you can run 26 miles in around four hours. I say that's pretty pathetic.
That's slow. Certainly nothing to brag about.

You say bring it on. Here's my challenge. Since I quit competitive running
years ago because of excessive wear and tear on my knees and feet (58-60
minutes was a typical time for a ten-mile race, btw) I have, indeed,
switched my training to cycling which is easier on the old bones.

There's a grueling little event called a 40K individual time trial. (40K is
about a mile short of a marathon). Anytime you'd like to have your ass
kicked real bad let's compete in a 40K ITT.

Deal? Or YOU going to be like Bobsprit and chicken out.
