new standards set in Masters Fattiedom

After slowly but steadily working his way through a 26.2-mile course
drenched by driving rain, mammoth distance runner Kelly Gneiting finished
Sunday's Los Angeles Marathon in nine hours, 48 minutes and 52 seconds,
probably establishing a Guinness world record for someone his size.

"I did it, but it was hell," Gneiting, 40, said, shortly after crossing the
finish line in Santa Monica. "Pure hell." Featured in a Times profile last
week, Gneiting is a former national champion sumo wrestler with a 60-inch
waist who weighed in just before the race at 400 pounds.

What kind of wheels are we going to build him for his bicycle? I guess
tandem-ready, since he weighs about half again as much as me and my wife
put together.

A perfect candidate for a Kunich carbon fork.
