Comments:

I led this race from the beginning, had plenty of spectators and runners cheering me on as the lead runner, had the Irish bagpipers playing for me at the finish, and the race announcer welcomed me as the 2014 quarter mile champion while I broke the finish line tape. but then we find out the 2nd place finisher apparently started later and managed to have a faster chip time than me. so he gets the crown. What can I say? My only goal was to break 42 minutes but finish in around 41 minutes if I felt strong. I did better.
