New Men's Marathon World Record!...

...in flip flops.

Keith Levasseur ran Saturday's Baltimore Marathon in 2:46:58 while wearing flip flops. Levasseur will file paperwork with the Guinness Book of World Records to have the feat acknowledged as a world record for a marathon in flip flops.

...in flip flops.

don't forget that the WR in running in a business suit was smashed by almost an hour!

Australian Phillip Belnave ran 2:43:00 in flip flops last year in the 2011 Canberra Marathon. He just didn't have it ratified by the Guinness folks.

It's totally nuts, but impressive.

I sometimes have trouble taking the trash out when I'm wearing flip flops.

Sure that wasn't Mitt Romney wearing those flip-flops??

BTW, anyone know if there's a record for the fastest marathon run completely in the nude??
I'm particularly interested in the women's record!!

Anyone remember the record by the waiter carrying the (bottle of glass) on the tray?

This may be a whole new thread, but there was a long-time Kansas City runner (at least late 70s ~ early 80s) who did many marathons kicking a soccer ball the whole way.

Bet that went down well with people running around him.

It kind of amazed me but people around him didn't seem to really mind. I'm not sure what the first few (congested) miles were like, but for most of the distance he seemed to have a fair bit of open space around him.
