I am now dumber for reading this whole thing but I enjoyed it!

So we’ll also give him $10,000 if by the end of 2015 he breaks 70:00 in a standard 10-mile course or 20:00 for 5k.

Is is possible for him to go from a 21 min 5K to 20 min with $10,000 on the line?



He ran 21:52 not 21:00. Taking off nearly 2 mins would be a huge amount in less than 6 months for someone who has never been that fast before. Of course, if his training already supports that kind of speed as Rossi claims, and he was just taking it easy in his build-up races, then he would be gunning for 20 flat to take the cash and salvage his reputation. But he can't and won't. Like Rosie Ruiz, I bet he will never race again because each time he steps foot on the line will only further prove that he was a cheat. Interestingly, after Boston, Rosie Ruiz did jail time and probation for embezzling $60,000 and later additional probation for her involvement in a cocaine deal. Karma.
