Edit: official time gives me 45 sec pb but hey I'll take that!!! For today!

Knowing that right now, at a race in Hungary- vital research into the effects of voluntary starvation is being conducted. Hopefully the children of the worlds next tragic famine will benefit from one jogger's crusade against food

I do recall being shown a picture of a certain medal and a certain poster's Garmin. The said medal was in his pocket last night as well. Some say he's been carrying it with him everywhere since London. All we know is: he's called the Turd.
