At least he beat Al Roker.

Seems like a win to me. Most people who run marathons don't do it to be the first across the line.

Amen to that. The fact that he was able to complete the marathon in the first place is a feat.

He even beat his own goal. I'd consider that a win.

Considering that a win for me would entail finishing at all, good for him.

The dude was trapped underground for more than two months and just got out a couple of weeks ago... what exactly would you define as a win? You really expected him to finish first?
 
Posted by Dan_Frank (Member # 8488) on :
 
Ditto what everyone has said. Do most people enter marathons expecting to win? Isn't finishing the goal for most average citizens?

I'm fairly sure that Ace of Spaces is trolling here with his use of the word 'lose.' Just don't bite!
