During the U.S. Open women's final, one of the commentators mentioned that he could see Venus Williams as a 200-meter runner. Also, note that the wonderfully objective computer rankings for tennis, still list her as No. 3 in the world (she missed tournaments early in the year with an injury).

Just curious, I wonder what the payout was for this race? Is Dan making more $$ with running now in the ultras or was his marathoning more lucritive? Unlikely, although I don't know how much he was making running marathons. As far as I know, the world 100K did not have prize money. Although
