Did I just qualify for the Olympics?

- Zurich Seville Marathon, 13th Place, 2:08:01 and Olympic Standard.
Some thoughts and elaborations below ⬇️
This build featured- 4th place @manchesterroadrace, a race I was extremely proud of. My first Sub-4 mile, and a half marathon personal best (1:01:02).
I had a strong and healthy build and this was my 8th marathon.
Those are all really good reasons to believe things were gonna go really well in Seville. But I think it’s important to share that even with a lot of good reasons to believe good things were coming I wasn’t sure I could run the Olympic Standard until the final 50 meters of the race.
I still can hardly wrap my head around this. Years of figuring this out, figuring myself out. I can now train confidently, show up to start lines knowing that I’ve done what needs to be done to compete.
From here I will act as if I am preparing for Paris, knowing full well I still need to wait till May 5 for the competition window to close and selection to be final, and there are certainly a handful who will chase the standard and can bump me off my spot.. but I did my part.
I’m excited to use the experience I gained in Eugene and Budapest to attack this next challenge: I was top 20 at the previous 2 world championships. My aim will be higher next. 🫡🙏🏼

Hey Rory. I've written this in a previous comment but I'll write it again: You are awesome on camera. So honest. So personable. So open. And so positive. You are an amazing ambassador for the sport through these videos. As well, Puma should be very proud to have you on their team. You do a great job of highlighting their brand and products - but you do it with integrity and sincerity. And if you're wondering: Yes...people are watching. Keep up all the great work. Keep the videos coming. Show us what you can do! Rob. PS: It was great to meet your family.
Wow, such a kind comment! Thank you, this means a lot.
Jace was definitely the star of this video. Dude is hilarious

I've really enjoyed following all you BYU/Utah guys now in the marathon scene. You, Adam, Connor, Clayton, Michael, and Cheney. I think you guys need to come up with a catchy nickname along the lines of Rat Pack, Frat Pack, Brat Pack...
So inspiring and so happy for you!! What an accomplishment!! Your son is absolutely the most adorable thing ever also ☺️
Congrats on the race . Really enjoyed the vlog.
To have that clarity straight after a marathon (when you're talking through the fence) just shows you that you're in great shape!!!!!
Congrats! 👏🏽
Congrats!!!

Man, if that video from his wife at the finish line doesn’t bring tears to your eyes, you have not sacrificed enough in your athletic career yet 😅

Hey Rory, first of all congrats for qualifying, am looking forward to watching you run in Paris! Also, how very cool that you travelled with the family, I may be way slower but can connect with the running dad vibe! Your Greek tattoo is super cool👍
Love it man, it isn’t easy for anyone to balance the role of fatherhood and athlete.. but I think the principles that allow success for one also apply to the other!
@@LinkletterRory absolutely! Raising children is not a sprint, it’s a marathon!
Super awesome to watch 🎉🎉
Congrats! Can’t wait to cheer for you in Paris
Loved it … thank u for sharing 🇨🇦
🔥 game spill!! Invaluable insight. Love the village context and realness.
Thanks brother! 🙏🏼
Congrats🎉 best puma commercial I’ve ever seen👍
Congratulations! So glad you took the fam along to Seville.
What a great video!
Rory, amazing accomplishment. I know you are in the heart of competing but the most important thing is to appreciate the experiences you will have with your family. I was able to qualify for Kona at 50 and brought my family with me to share in the experience. Memories will last a life time regardless of the result. As a father, no matter what the outcome please make sure to appreciate every experience you have with your family. Enjoy the ride, but appreciate all of the experiences!!!!! Good Luck!!!
fantastic work. best wishes for the next steps
Awesome video!! Congrats on hitting the Olympic standard and a big PB! Keep the videos rolling and love the family stuff! 😁😁
