Wrong and you failed as he was right.
You absolutely can hit every mat on a bike but only a homo like you wouldn't understand that.
I've biked it 3, yes, 3 times following friends, all sub 3 hours, although I am sure that you must be a tough 2:09 man, right? The last time I did it was in 2011.
They will not stop you at the 15k point and obviously you aren't smart enough to figure it out. You can walk, jog, or bike right on the shoulder any where around 2:50 pace.
Why he did it? You really aren' that bright are ya? 20 people, at least, have explained it for the brain dead. He wanted to be faster and couldn't so he did it to produce the results that he wasn't capable of. Go back and read the last 20 pages.
A bit of advice little fella. Sometimes it's better to remain silent and be thought the fool than to speak and remove all doubt. Sorry, I probably lost you with that one, but basically it means STFU.
Serious psychological issues??????? Please? Off you go now.
