I would have won that race by 7-8 seconds. Just sayin’

Yeah that’s not right.

For bike commuting to grad school, where I need a PC that can run somewhat powerful statistical software, is it the HP Spectre, Dell XPS 13, or the newest Lenovo Carbon X1 with 5th gen processor?

Nah, she was wearing regular running shoes.

80 miles/week, pretty good runner here. Have trained in Boston, Northern Michigan, and Chicago, among other cold and icy places. I agree that you don't need any of these technologies to run in cold, icy conditions, but it is NOT almost impossible to fall, no mattter how "over your center of gravity" you are. That's…

No idea what you are talking about- I was being sarcastic, running barefoot is stupid and there's a reason that zero elite runners train/race barefoot.

I was being sarcastic.

Maximalist shoes are snake oil, but Born to Run is not. We're all meant to run barefoot, that's why the Tarahumara are such amazing runners. That's why Kenyans all run barefoot and they are the fastest people ever duh.

Raptor? Hardly knew 'er!

I like the part with the dancing.

See, that's better! I knew you had a decent insult in you. Good job, good effort.

In what scenario in the world would anyone ever get back at someone by "choking on a dick"? That comment makes no sense. If you had just said "Go choke on a dick", fine, that makes sense. That's an insult, and I accept that. But how would my "choking on a dick" get back at you? That doesn't make any sense. Your…

No. He gives a reason to doubt his computer's system (an absurdly high, probably unsustainable three-point percentage) yet still rates them more highly than Duke.

Chill out, nobody is doubting your team. First of all, he uses a computer for all of his simulations- do you think the computer is a "doubter"? Second, he has you above Duke. So, ya know, maybe chill out.

[ignores entirely]

He does! He's a huge proponent. I liked him better when his only drugs were God and the long run.

Eric,

But but but Ryan Hall drinks Bulletproof coffee and he used to be fast!

Why the fuck are you replying to a seven month old sarcastic comment?

No, but I don't think she has a very good point about the wording either. Trail running is a very, very dirty sport. Look at pictures from the North Face 50 Miler last weekend. It's an inside joke among trail runners and has nothing to do with track and field/road racing's doping problem.
