Dude died afterwards, no? Not something I aspire to
But think of the IMMORTAL GLORY you'll win!
... yeah, I ain't too big on it either, I'll take the train.
What was this person's name?
Funny question! The stories can't seem to agree. Pheidippides is the most common one, but there are at least a few other names claimed in Classical stories as the REAL name of the runner.
It was SpruceBringsteen I'm pretty sure
Heard his name was Rick, actually
I think he walked in, said the message, and died right there just like in a movie.
How did they know the message was done? Did he say over before dying?
That's a 10-4 good buddy. Over.
I always think of that every time I read about someone dying while running a marathon
