His time wouldn’t put him top 200 in the world this year. He has access to better strength and conditioning professionals, nutritionists, recovery experts, etc than anyone in that top 200. This isn’t an issue of needing more races or practice. He would need to start by losing about 30lbs, then racing for 4-5 years, and then MAYBE he is one of the top 20 in the world.

The “record”? Zero chance.

Because they are literal fed ex delivery men. The masters championship you just… sign up. Anyone can. You can if you want.

His time wouldn’t put him in the top 100 of NCAA athletes just this year, and 3 kids in high school ran faster than him yesterday in a single meet in Boston.

Well that would help... but my concerns would be...

  1. Can you drink booze in the stands?
  2. Can the racers make loud noises?
  3. How often will these racers be running into each other or into walls?
  4. How much greasy ass food is available at these events?
  5. Can we limit the amount of black racers to less than 1% of racers?
  6. Of these possible black racers, can we make sure theres no hippity hoppity ones?
