Self-fellatio? Really? What the hell is wrong with you guys. You put on a race for 50,000 runners. Oh wait, you haven't. So then if you can't offer a much-deserved 'thanks' then do yourself a favor and keep your lame and unconstructive criticism to yourself. Take it one step further: don't clog up the course next year. Instead I suggest participating in something you'll really enjoy, like standing in front of a mirror and masturbating.
I was bummed myself when the race was overshadowed by the Memorial Day regalia. I stood in the same ran all day. But then I realized that I was pissing about lost lives being honored and celebrated. Despite my desire to see the Africans battle it out, I remembered that I have friends fighting, and their friends dying, while I'm whining about the rain.
There are always chances to improve. There is no perfection. Stop being spoiled little twats and rethink your intentions. You're not helping anyone but yourself. You probably ran a crap time anyways.
I was mesmerized by the organization that supported such a crowd. Thank you volunteers, water bearers, officials and directors. Thank you elite athletes for coming from all over the world. The people that care, that are cheering for you, waited all morning to see you cross the line. Ryan, I waited weeks just for that moment. Thank you for coming.
Next year, please let us watch them race on the Jumbotron. That is why I came. Oh and while you're at it, allow it to be cold and wet for the first wave, but then turn on the sun so I can sit comfortably in the stadium and sing the national anthem and recall all the sacrifice that has been made.
Great race, thank you again!
