Hey Everyone -

Stop the presses! Call CNN! We're missing a big opportunity here!

SEGWAY OWNER MANAGES TO FINISH NY MARATHON!!!

How on earth?!?!?!? Must have used someone else's legs! Must have paid someone else to run for him!!! We should get SOME press out of our dear geekfactory's big achievement. Are there any pics??? We need evidence - this is a milestone, indeed. Proof that all Segway owners may not end up by needing double-wide caskets at an early age!

He finished even considering all those stops he had to make at Burger King and McDonalds?

Awesome!

Hope no one saw him running and yelled "Can't you just WALK!" <g>

Oh, I personally love gliding while wearing one of my NINE "finisher" t-shirts from various marathons, or sweatshirts, or jackets from various races.

"You're so lazy!"

"Actually, no I'm not. This is the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon Finisher's patch. Ever done that triathlon, where you swim from Alcatraz to San Francisco?"
"Um, no."
"Yeah. Didn't think so. Have a nice day."

Well, my BEST time was last year's Marine Corps Marathon, at 4:07:56. NYC this year wasn't that great, at 5:00:40 - I blame it on severe lack of training - traveling way too much for work, and the fact that it was like, 70 degrees at start.

I'll break four hours next year. :)
