6:59 respect to the guy racing while pushing his kid in a stroller

this is the equivalent of procrastinating studying for a test and then a last minute cram and try to do better than everyone else

My husband came in 2nd in this race! (I came in 7th overall) We initially thought there had been some chip mistake seeing your start/finish times 😂 glad to come across this video and get some sort of explanation! Hope to see you at another local Bigfoot race 😊

[Wunba]

You’ve won so many times you gotta start nerfing yourself… respect 😂

the dinosaur quit because she was a 5 year old with an influencer behind her telling her she was in last place repeatedly :(

[dakingseaniii]

I’m glad you told us you were starting in last place and trying to finish first at least 7 times cuz I was still confused after the 6th time and reading the title of the vid

I don't think I've ever run a race that large where that pace, even without the 9:30 first mile, would have won. Finding that race was the real feat.

[Ruddiestbat]

That is quite impressive, a 41 minute 10k with that disadvantage is really fast!

You were lucky to finish 1st, and I think your pace was brilliant. In most 10k races in the uk you get people that run between 30 and 40 mins.

[rasmusjohansen]

Also lucky that the second fastest was still over 40 minutes. In my last local 10K race the leaders was running low 30 minute times.

No Way! Bagging actually works in Real Life!

Pretty easy to win when first place is over 41:00. That's a slow race with no competition.

This was a GREAT idea for a video, Tyler. Of course, there is a difference between chip time and clock time, but I'm guessing you were going for first place clock time AND chip time, which you did accomplish here. Congrats! Looking forward to more of your videos!

I was wondering if you were going to get into a situation where you were the fastest chip time, but not the first finisher. Some races don't differentiate between chip time and clock time either; it's just clock time. If you ran this in 40:16, your chip time would be 40:16 and that would be your official time, but I can see your clock time is 41:26.

For those wondering, clock time starts when the race starts/gun goes off. Chip time begins when you cross the start line. It has happened to me several times in a race where I outkicked someone at the end only to find out they officially beat me because their chip time was faster (they started farther back from the start line than I did). But it was never the difference between 1st and 2nd place in my case (i'm not that fast ;P) but I'm sure it does happen.

Seeing him not able to pass the girls in the dinosaur costumes. I was like Nah he wont make it. The ending got my mind blown.

When it comes to most HS races, going from last to first will usually happen assuming you run a perfectly even, nonfluctuating pace throughout the race. In a 3200m race, I went from last to 4th with mostly even laps.

[GoateeH]

Great bit of fun, hope you got sponsored for everyone you passed! At my local races, even with a smaller fields you'd not make top 20 in most races. You'd need to be running at least 35mins to even have a chance! I don't run 10k road very often anymore but last time was 37mins and didn't even get first V45 finisher.

[InfinityCuberRSM]

Oh my gosh that's actually just straight up impressive
