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.
The way you described that last push was so inspirational! Your wife is so supportive, just riding the waves like water, thank you for sharing the video :D
Jill is the GOAT
