Ryan time

This is just awesome:

Enjoy running? Wish you were faster? Well good news is here! Some ingenious person created a website that lets you enter your running times and gives you a faster time using the same significant adjustment employed by Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan when discussing his marathon time. Ryan claimed to had run the 26-plus mile run in just under three hours. In reality he ran it in just over four. That’s a pretty big discrepancy, so get ready to see your times sped up to near world record times.

Speaking of world record times. I wonder how much faster some of them would be using this calculator. If only someone had the free time to do it…

Paul Ryan Speeds Up World Record Holders!
