I feel bad for this guy. (Not for the faint of heart)

He must've won.

Do you see any other competitors within a mile of his stanky ass?

It was all an ingenious plan on his part.

^ Yup.

They may not have won - but they own the 'best known' Ironman and Marathon finishes...

There's just something about that 'not gonna give up till I finish' determination that gets to you, isn't there?

Sure the hell is! You know what, it reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

-Theodore Roosevelt

Did you see my question about nosebleeds, by the way? Do you happen to know the answer? I've googled and didn't really get the information I was looking for.

I did - and I don't - sorry.

I spent 20+ years doing marathons & beyond, triathlons & Ironman (plus all sorts of shorter stuff). Never had a problem myself, nor been aware of any of the other runners I know suffering from any unusual occurrence of nosebleeds.
