Re: Robbie-T @ Around the Bay 2010
Meh!! I'm a little ticked at your result. I predicted a 1:53:20.
But seriously...I think Doonst said it once that it has to be tough to be you because of the expectations we have of you. People just don't improve the way you have. Its just...boggling.
You may have thought 1:53 was a joke..it wasn't. You inspire that kind of belief in people. Superman indeed!
I fully expect that 1:53 from you next year.

Re: Robbie-T @ Around the Bay 2010
Congratulations
You so deserved to start with elites... and so nice of you to seat there with us - ordinary maniacs. That gold medal is very nice indeed in reality.
Thank you for the chocolate eggs, I would like to try you pre race snack - maybe it would help me to run faster

Well done, scorching time, I can barely hit that pace during 800m intervals.

Re: Robbie-T @ Around the Bay 2010
There was never any doubt, Robbie.
You inspire me to experience some pain. First I will try in my training runs, then maybe I will race.
You deserve the results with all your solid training and dedication. Awesome!

You are a rocket man. Nice when the old guys still have giddiup. Looking forward to a Fingerboy--Robbie T showdown. Next year at ATB or does Anyone know a good 30k run in August in the Toronto area that would work? Perhaps one at night? Hmm, thinking, thinking.......
