SO YOU’RE PLANNING TO RUIN A MARATHON
Handing out cups of vinegar is an inspired idea, but a tip for the uninitiated: whole tubes of Astroglide carefully applied to the finish line work very, very well, too.

About us
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

I ran that marathon (damn right I’m bragging), but since I finished a good two and a half hours later, none of us had any idea that the winner biffed at the finish line like that.
The funniest thing about that whole episode is the organizers quickly removing the giant corporate logo decal that Cheryiot slipped upon, almost as if they were whistling and hoping no one would notice them doing so.
You have to appreciate the thought process there… “Hey, it’s been a cold, steady drizzle all morning and some of the regular *pavement* is like a damn skating rink on several portions of the course. Let’s make sure we add a slick, plastic sticker right at the end, where the runners will be trying to slow down as they cross the finish!” Brilliant!”

Who cares about the concussion and stitches — I mean besides the rest of us — but let’s answer the question that the announcers are still praying over: Did he Cross The Line!?!?!?!?

He did. The judges, using video replay, ruled that his chest crossed the line as he fell. His feet slid out forward when he fell, bringing his momentum towards the tape. If he had fallen straight down where he slipped, he would have finished second.

that’s why you don’t start celebrating until after you cross the finish line.
if he hadn’t crossed the line, the pain from losing in such an embarrassing way would’ve been much worse than the concussion.
