I know a guy (he's the youngest American to run a marathon on all seven -- yes, seven -- continents) who ran a marathon in Buenos Aires wearing some totally ugly getup from the Antarctica marathon. I think it was a denim shirt or something equally un-runner-like. Anyway, at the start of that marathon, he sprinted ahead with the elites, and was actually ahead for about 90 seconds. The Kenyans/Moroccans/other-really-good-runners were all looking at each other quizzically wondering who the F he was.
Hilarity (naturally) ensued.
Good times, good times.
