Return of the Douche Rocket!

Tony gets his own thread over on letsrun. Some of the best comments so far:

He's a hermit who sells shoes.

If you run 5 hours a day aren't you prone to being a loner? I mean who the hell is going to join you?

"I will beat Anton anytime he's ready to run Badwater. Anton, you can get a hold of me. Let me know when you are racing it." -Dean Karnazes

It strikes me that these ultra marathoners are the running porn stars of our day. They do the same things as us...just a whole lot more of it...in that relentless ennui way that only porn films can achieve…to the point of making it…interesting?

Wow - that thread is a veritable love-fest. What happened to the Letsrun ultra haters. I thought we were all a bunch of egotistical, talentless fools.

You have probably all seen this but somebody linked to it the other day and I hadn't read it. Letsrun at its finest.
