This is Weak

I saw this on the news this morning whilst sipping my coffee:

"We planned so well, we really didn't have any major surprises," said Evans. "Luckily, we had great weather."
Yeah, sounds great. No surprises, Great weather. It reminds me of a guy called the Ultramarathon Man, Dean Karnazes, who did a similar stunt a while ago, except he ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. That's 1310 miles in a little over a month and a half. Add to that "long bus rides, logistical issues, blogging everyday." The only difference between the two trips is that one HAD BALLS. Big balls that ran ungodly miles for a ridiculous amount of time. It must have been so stressful, playing 18 holes everyday, in sunny weather, with nothing to worry about except; "should I use a 9 iron, or an 8?" DEAR GOD...THE CHOICES!!! Don't even worry about stress fractures, muscle cramps and tears, overuse injury, patella famoral syndrome, hydration, electrolyte replacement, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, clean clothes, good shoes, maps, food, and SANITY. Oooh, he made a birdie. Who gives a crap.
