Re: t-and-f: The 7th Hardest Thing to do in Sports
Without reading the interview or article, I'd offer that the *really* hard thing is running a fast marathon on the day you really need to run a fast marathon, like in the Olympics. There are so many things that can go wrong, that being able to not only put everything together, but to them together on the day that matters most, is amazingly tough.

Re: t-and-f: The 7th Hardest Thing to do in Sports
Ok, this will obviously startsomething, but. . . running a low two hour marathon is easier than simply completing the tour de france? I don't think so. Now, I know that just completing the tour within the time limits is a great accomplishment, but far lesser athletes than your typical 2:08 marathoner have done it. No way is it harder. This type of poll is of course bogus. I can think of other things peripheral to our sport alone that are harder than running a fast marathon, including: -a sub-2:40 50K racewalk -a sub 6:20 100K on the road -Raid Galoise -Eco Challenge etc, etc, etc I'm not saying these things are more mpressive than running a fast marathon, but they are most assuredly harder. - Ed Parrot - Original Message - From: Kurt Bray [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 10:38 AM Subject: t-and-f: The 7th Hardest Thing to do in Sports According to USA Today, running a fast marathon is the 7th hardest thing in sports to accomplish, one place ahead of completing the Tour de France: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/2003-02-20-ten-hardest-marathon_x.htm They are counting down the top ten, one difficult thing each day, and today they are featuring the marathon.
