GWR Update

Well, the rejection of my attempt at Boston stands. Alas, I don't have a specific reason that would help me understand what could have been done differently.

However, all is not lost. There is one category that already exists (so I don't even need to pay to have them determine if they will follow the category) but does not yet have anyone having established the record: fastest marathon dressed as a comic book character.

While there were many people who called me "Paul Revere" while running, the more apt name (which many did call me, too) was "George Washington." It's much easier to find images in the same outfit that I wore for depictions of George Washington, rather than Paul Revere. Other categories I considered were "fastest marathon dressed as a film character" and "fastest marathon dressed as a comic book character" -- but those are right out for my submission since they exist with times faster than 3 hours.

Yep, there are many comic books which had appearances by GW. The one which seems most applicable?

The thing which has me most concerned is what the minimum time to break was. For other records, it was four hours. But there was one part of the application which implied three hours. If that's the case, this attempt is officially closed/rejected. I'll find out in the next several weeks.
