I had the same thing happen to me. One of my OWN teammates who was extremely cocky said that breaking my mile time (5:26) was going to be "light work" and "easy" and all of that. When he ran his mile however, he got 5:38 and got 2nd to last while I finished with 7 other guys ahead of him in the varsity mile. Don't talk the talk without walking the walk or in this case running the run.
@@muckersmusic9725 Good question! Stember accomplished a lot as a runner, but made a fool of himself at the 04' Trials. I saw a video about him becoming a sushi chef and just found his current self to be the very stereotypical cosmopolitan liberal, hippy, social justice warrior, atheistic, live and let live type of person that I abhor. Plus he was nearly bald and talked smack about Alan Webb who was at the same time nearly bald, so I thought that was funny. Is that good enough?
And what did Webb's career amount to? a few fast times, down the field in Worlds no Olympic final and not much more. A lot of poorly managed potential.
