Marathon

[sheila]

Brings back memories.... Of what a bad idea it is if you haven't done it before and not having trained properly... I must have spent HOURS in ice the first day I did it!

To sound a little bitchy, if Ramon wins the Marathon and TBL, then Jessica should think that he comes with a huge dowry of over a quarter of a million dollars! lol

OK, guess this is the thread to discuss tonight's show.
A few thoughts while they pound on. That confrontation between Vinny and his mom...yikes... classic battered woman syndrome.
Sand seems to be harder on everyone.
Why does Jessica get an upset stomach when she runs? That doesn't sound good? Seems as if they do have a relationship, for now at least.
Jeepers, they are only up to mile 15.
Ugh, running in a sandstorm...you can't be breathing that, looks like you can hardly see the road.

OK at least we know it's been 5 months since this season started. Why is Ramon treating this like it is a sprint. I am waiting for them to crash at the 20 mile mark, the dreaded wall of a marathon.

Glad Doctor H is pulling people.

Glad even the 5th place finsiher gets some money. Glad Bonnie's doc was sensible and she didn't even try what with surgery next week. Vinny gets pulled for medical reasons...bad ankle. Dr. H. is eyeing Joe. Joe is out...his limp is so bad he will hurt himself if he goes on, Joe is resisting.

[Bearcata]

Is Joe even thinking that if he injures his knee enough he will hurt his chances at the finale and lets not even think about how long it will take to recover from the marathon.

Ramon said he'd been practicing in similar climate...that should help....... Ramon sprints across the finish line!

[sheila]

Yeah, because the worst part of it is that while they have been doing stem cell therapy on such injuries, 40 years-old is the cut-off age!!

Ramon did a very good time given the fact that he has only been working out for 5 months.

Courtney is second, 5 hours 9 min. Forgot to look at Ramon's time but he didn't seem that far ahead. John is 3rd. Jess is 4th 5/ 17. And once again Ramon says he loves her and she says she's happy. Patrick is 5th and is looking pretty cute. 6/24. Big gap there.
Ramon gets 25K, Patrick $2,500, the rest in between. Jenny is 6th Anton and Becky come in together 7 and 8... Coach is 10th... I missed one. Johnny 11, Debbie 12th, in the dark. Everyone who didn't get pulled finished.

Sunny must have been 9th.

Weigh in for the previous top four. TWO will be eliminated, the two below the red line.....
