The Game of Numbers

I want us to look at some few things concerning the 1:59 challenge, if it was a challenge at all.

I suspect there was so much more than the run involved.

Why do I say so?

Why settle at cutting ten seconds from two hours when you could possibly cut five or even ten minutes? Why give all that assistance to do something that may have been remotely possible without it?

The same guy has done a minute and a half above two hours in a normal marathon. Is it logical to assume someone can’t possibly reduce that time in a normal race?

You see, changing the terrain would alone have made it possible to cut that time to below the two hour mark.

The location and altitude of the course would have made that time possible.

Introducing mechanized pacing alone would also make that possible.

And breaking wind resistance by those human pacers would certainly have made it possible, not forgetting the fact that the course itself was in a place that cut the wind through the trees and the ‘closed’ in course.

And it is absolutely possible that more runners than the one picked could have lowered that time had they not been restricted to setting the pace.

Why then combine all those odds and insist on 1:59:50? Why not set the bar at 1:50? Why set the bar so low?

Unless 1:59 was not just a number.

It was such a significant number that it had to be maintained at all cost.

Reading the analysis of the run, it was apparent that by the half way mark, the guy was running too fast for the time. He had to slow down so that he does reduce that time too much.

For those who watched the run live (I didn’t), there was so much tension on the watchers as the guy seemed to have lost the momentum and started waving at people as he approached the finish line to the point that they thought he would lose that mark. I am convinced that had he sprinted like they do in normal races he could also have reduced that mark to below 1:59.

It is therefore very clear that what was at stake was not simply proving that a person can run 42 km in less than 2 hours as I think it would have been more emphatic if he had cut the time by a hugely substantial margin. I for one could have been more impressed when the difference to the existing record would be in line with all the assistance he was enjoying.

I suspect 1:59 was a smoke screen of something more momentous, yet something that only a select few needed to be aware of.

Even the timing of the day of the run falls under such.

You see, some people are superstitious. Yet the reality is that they could be held captive by some spiritual structures.

The astral objects must align in a particular way for them to get the permission to do certain things since only then would they be in the right position to access that spiritual breakthrough.

That is what I think it had to be 1:59 or nothing. Prepare for 1:50 to ensure 1:59 is unavoidable.

I am not a numerologist and am not interested in the subject. But I suspect the run was being organized by spiritual numerologists, though not of the divine we serve.

And like Jesus said, if we give them time, we will be able to know what was so important for them that they could pour all that money to prove something that could be proven even without it.

But it would be important for us to raise our spiritual aerials to them.

Treat this as my suspicion.
