I would finish last and I might even take several years, like that one dude who ended up as a soldier in a war while technically still participating in a marathon. But I could say I ran a marathon.
So the only response to someone bragging about running a marathon is “did you win?”
I conflagrated the war thing from something else, it seems. Guy I am talking about is Shizo Kanakuri. He was in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, quit, went home without telling anyone, was declared missing and when the Olympic committee found out 54 years later what had happened, they invited him to finish the race he started, which also led to him receiving a Guiness World Record.
Though now I am wondering where the hell I got the soldier thing from… 🤔

“I set a personal record.”
Do you recall anything else about that guy? I just tried to look it up, and all I got was articles about Hiroo Onoda
