    I think Lance will discover that running is not the same as cycling. He may have the highest VO2Max in the world, but without having run farther than 16 miles, he will be in for a shock come mile 22 or so.

    A high VO2max is overblown. A fast marathon doesn’t have a lot to do with horsepower, but with fuel efficiency.

    I predicted 2:59:59. you can ask bex. I rule!

    I’m disappointed that he finished. That would have been very pleasing. Oh well, my congratulations go out to him for getting under 3 hours. It was nothing personal, but constantly hearing about him got under my skin. On the whole, however, I’m sure that 45-year old Greg Fleming from Delaware, who finished 865th in 2:59:35, is a good person.

    I know it’s already happened, but I’ve been saying all along that he’d finish in 3:15 so I picked over 3 hours anyway.

    I passed him around mile 6, and he looked awful already. He had a huge number of sycophants crowding around him, and a motorcycle with a camera right in front of him. I know I wouldn’t want to suck down those fumes for the entire race.

    I have more to say on the matter, but it’s going to wait until I get my own race coverage up at Run to Win now that my vacation is over.
