My Boston Marathon

profile image for Scooter by Scooter

When I entered the Boston Marathon I knew my changes of winning were close to zero.  Despite the propaganda perpetuated in fairy tales, we tortoises do not win races.  Nike has no reptile sponsorship program.  There is no Ferrari F50 Tortoise.  Like most marathon runners, I wasn’t in it to win.  I just wanted to finish.

Well, finish I did.  To my surprise, I shattered the world tortoise record by a full 14 minutes with an official time of 5 years, 7 months, 27 days, 9 minutes and 8.326 seconds!

I had carbo-loaded the night before but would those calories last the years
