Of course he'd have run faster with a tailwind on a downhill track and a perfect start and a warm humid day with a lifetime's supply of chicken mcnuggets at stake - but it wasn't and he didn't.

Or do you think Geoffrey Rono's 3:32.55, which gave him 6th place at the Rome GL was a greater run than Jim Ryun's WR?Było smaszno, a jaszmije smukwijne...

Was Ron Clarke a nobody from nowhere because he ran so much slower than today's distance runners? Abebe Bikila? Zatopek? Nurmi? Jesse Owens? It is what it is, isn't it?

If not, McDonalds ought to come up with some deal like Titleist did for legendary golfer Moe Norman

Uihlein then told Norman that Titleist would like to pay him $5,000 a month for the rest of his life.
"Moe looked kind of funny," Kuykendall says. "He took a step backward and said, 'I've played your balls all my life. I've played your balls all my life. What do I have to do for that money?' And Mr. Uihlein said, 'You don't have to do anything. You've already done it. We just want to thank you for what you've already done.'

P.S. if I run on a dirt track and don't get paid, my time IS indeed magically adjusted? Oh good. What is the conversion factor?
