I told you so too Len. Very happy to see that you HTFU and ran sub-8 pace. I knew you could. Furthermore, beings that you did finish sub-8 pace, you are NOT a pantie-waist police officer. I am relieved. *phew*

I won't lie. The potential of being labeled a PWPO did enter my mind in the final third of the race.... Thanks for the motivation!

Phew! So glad you took that the right way. I've been sweating bullets, cuz I can't control my unbridled tongue.

Great report, Len and an awesome race you ran. Congrats again! I forgot to mention it in my report but remembered when you called it out in yours. Big props to the Ft. Worth PD. They did a fantastic job out there yesterday and I made sure to thank everyone of them. In miles 20-24 several of them were cheering the runners on - something I haven't seen before in a race.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Well I wasn't sure if the "W" stood for "whipped" or "waste" (to go along with the appropriate "p" word), but either way I didn't want the label. Wink

These people kinda pissed me off. The 10k started at the same time we did, so they were on pace for a ~ 1:40 plus 10k. Like a 16 min/mile pace. Any chance you people could NOT walk 4-5 wide, making the mid pack half mary people weave to get to the finish line? .................. JK- sorry, no pictures until the bright room photos are ready. Get over it.

Ridiculous that you were running into the tail end of the 10-k'ers. That sucks. I had that happen in a marathon with half marathoners on an out and back course (guess they were running a 3:40+ half ...?). But the course was open enough to get around them at least. This sounds like a nightmare. I checked the results. You were faster than 93+ % of the field. There were 2100 people behind you. Mid-pack, my ass. Hurry up with the pictures, dammit.

Were you aware that the elitist marathon whore Casa flew in for the race?
