Nothing better to do? Why not look up famous people’s names in the TCM results? The only person I could find in the marathon results was the Svenomenon (4:08:18) – so I guess those ads weren’t just a showcase for his hot bod after all.
Amongst the 4600 who finished the 10 miler I was able to find Jonathan Yuhas (1:19:23), Jeanette Trompeter (1:26:42), Bill Hudson (1:45:37) and Karen Leigh (2:00:02). This probably indicates that I only watched two stations’ newscasts this weekend. So who’d I miss?

The sports guy on channel 5. Don’t know his name, to lazy to look it up.

so i am dumb, but how can the times for the “quasi-local news-celebs” be better than the winners’ times?

Rake Promotion Manager Margaret Dioguardi did a 1:26:40 in the 10 mile. She’s a celebrity in my book.

Was the Channel 5 guy Rod Simons (5:27:54)? He had the staggeringly coincidental bib number of 5555.
Russ, some of those times are for only 10 miles instead of 26.22.

russ, you’re looking at times for TC 10 Mile… Only Sven ran the whole shebang.

Can I just say that the TCM course is exceptionally DIFFICULT! I mean, sure, there are fans everywhere. But there are also plenty of hills. And pretty near no one turns out to cheer the runners along River Road–and that’s the meanest spot on the course, if you ask me. All I could of yesterday, while watching everyone run, was Thank God It Ain’t Me!! Poor Phyllis!!

Brad Johnson finished 289th (3:09:39). No wonder he looked so tired against the Bills.

This gives you the indication that news reporters are blantly out of touch with Mainstream Minnesota and the Twin Cities residents. They act like this is holloywerid and therefore they should be treated like celebrities. WTF?! They’re JOURNALISTS for crying out loud!!!!

What are you talking about Big G? News Reporters shouldn’t run in the marathon? People like Crz shouldn’t put up a posting indicating their times on the marathon? WTF?!

i think I heard kare11 say that diana pierce “ran” it in 6 hours, i couldn’t find her name in the results. Thats really slow, though, about 4.5mph, i think I can walk that fast,you’d think the sweeper bus would have picked her up.
1:01 pm
I would guess that Diana is here, since that last name belongs to her husband. (5:57:36)
Big G, there was a REASON I put “celebs” in air quotes up there. When we can get Diddy to run THIS marathon, I’ll be there days later with a post, I promise.
1:18 pm
jesus, I can walk faster than some of these people

Chris Hawkey from KFAN finished the 10 mile in 2504th place in 1:39:09. He’s such a douche.
