@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social ALT-TEXT post by slightly-bovverd If you ever feel bad about taking a longer time than someone else to accomplish the same things, just remember that during the 1912 Stockholm Olympics Japanese marathon runner Shizo Kanakuri passed out in a garden party along the marathon route and, instead of notifying race officials of his inability to finish the race, he went back to Japan without telling anyone and was considered a missing person by the Swedish authorities for 50 years. 1/2

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I think we need to hear a little more about that garden party.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social 😂👍

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social He would have been a little faster, but the steaks at the repeat garden party - which served as the start of the continuation of his run - were truly delicious. 👀
