The results are in, the times have been tallied (sort of) and the official list is done. Congrats to all 43 folks who participated! If you came here to see the video, just skip to the bottom of this post.
With out further ado, I proudly present to you the 2008 EN Virtual Marathon Relay TT Finishers (in order of total time):
- 2:50:32 TEAM SUB 3
- 2:54:52 The Four Horsemen [of the November Apocalypse]
- 2:58:04 TEAM NIL
- 3:04:13 TEAM BEAR DOWN
- 3:06:20 TEAM “Beat team SUB 3 head to head”
- 3:11:02 TEAM WTF (three folks)
- 3:20:57 TEAM PURITANS
- 3:35:46 TEAM 26.2…Below!
- 3:59:33 TEAM Packin Heat THE HOT FLASHES
- 4:14:XX TEAM RATHER BE RIDIN’ (most vert?)
- 5:38:18 TEAM RUN TIL YOU PUKE (for 45.1mi!)
As you know, it wasn’t all about the time. Some teams went for distance (Team Run Til You Puke), others went for the most vertical gain (Team Rather Be Ridin’), others went for martyrdom (three runners on Team WTF), while others went for the Shock and Awe category (Team 26.2…Below!). Regardless of where your team ended up, I think we can all agree that the first Virtual Marathon TT was a success.
I am seriously impressed with the work that folks put down in November. These are some legit times…and more importantly, I think the seeds have been sewn for another hyper-competitive event in the near future!
It’s hard to capture the true nature of the event that captivated a good portion of EN membership and led to one of our most popular forum threads of all time…but this video shows that some people will do almost anything to win. On second thought, maybe making things more competitive isn’t the best idea after all. 
Note: All participants earned $10 off their next EN Gear order, with Team Sub 3 and Team “No Shame” (the video doodes) earning $15 off. Thanks guys!
