BS - i realize you are just trolling anyway.

I don't think BS was completely trolling .... marathons are defined by distance, and a time to completion is arbitrary and can change by event. A basketball game's duration may vary by league but a stopping time is germane to the definition of the contest.
i was more referring to starting this thread in the first place.
i see your point. However, if a race ends at a certain time, then its over once that time elapses. period. There are cutoffs for a reason.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I gotta laugh at all the butthurt running snobs that don't want to share their precious 26.2 sticker with someone who weighs 2-3x as much as them, eats whatever the hell they want, played video games all day instead of busting ass training, and still finished a marathon. I'd give you a cookie for your efforts, but it might tack on another 5 minutes to a time that nobody cares about.
does anybody know how long it took to run the "original" marathon? serious question, as it would indicate some time element as well as a specific distance.
and yes, in marathons, speed kills!

i gotta laugh at cro thinking that i don't eat what i want...and for thinking i'm "butthurt."
then again, this is the GB and I also realize you guys are all full of crap.

I'm with Aggie00 on this. The guy didn't "complete a marathon." He went on a really long walk along what used to be a marathon course. If I go to Boston this weekend, and follow the Boston Marathon course, it doesn't mean that I've run the Boston Marathon.
He ran 26.2 miles. Yes or no

No. He jogged a little. He walked some. He stopped and changed socks.
I would like a 1.4 sticker. Then I would explain that I got tired.

good for him. give that man a sticker.
well, actually i could buy 1000 26.2 stickers for like 20 bucks. and then slap them on a whole bunch of fatties' cars.
I could blanket the local Golden Corral and Sirloin Stockade.

so if I have sexx for 26.2 hours, can I get a sticker?
9 hours? Isn't that about average walking speed? How fast was this "jogging" he did?
If you have sex for 26.2 hours, you won't want to sticker any more
i'll be the first to admit, i was wrong. I completely missed this line:
"Is there a time limit to complete the Marathon? No, however..."
there was no cut-off.
i can say i disagree with the rules, but he didn't break any. Its not a DNF. he finished.

The amazing thing is that he didn't even get last place...
did they count every who started in the total? if enough people dropped, he could have been the last across where the finish line was but ahead of the people who dropped out.
No, they're only showing the results of people that finished.

I'm pretty sure the last place person on that page, Melissa Fernandez, is actually just a timing error, as her splits show her at 40K in 4:25, but, the second to last person on that page, Janice Ericson, apparently actually pulled a 10:06 time. Admittedly, it's a 67 year old female, but, still...(

A what?
Why the he'll is going on in here?

I contend that even with a time limit he may not have completed THAT marathon but he did complete A marathon.
