The whole story is wild...

Dude did not plan on taking the record. He just felt really good in the last 10k and said, "fuck it. Let's try for under 2 hrs" (not his actual words)

Ends up taking the record and had enough energy to jump around and celebrate after the line

This was only his 3rd marathon

Wtf....
