Did I just qualify for the Olympics?

Jace was definitely the star of this video. Dude is hilarious

[@LinkletterRory]

Jace definitely a ⭐️

[@modernrocketmedia7854]

Hey Rory. I've written this in a previous comment but I'll write it again: You are awesome on camera. So honest. So personable. So open. And so positive. You are an amazing ambassador for the sport through these videos. As well, Puma should be very proud to have you on their team. You do a great job of highlighting their brand and products - but you do it with integrity and sincerity. And if you're wondering: Yes...people are watching. Keep up all the great work. Keep the videos coming. Show us what you can do! Rob. PS: It was great to meet your family.

[@LinkletterRory]

Wow, such a kind comment! Thank you, this means a lot.

[@kulol03]

The way you described that last push was so inspirational! Your wife is so supportive, just riding the waves like water, thank you for sharing the video :D

[@LinkletterRory]

Jill is the GOAT

[@jilllinkletter8118]

Such a fun trip! I am so proud of you...and grateful I was able to be there!

[@ryandoucette5966]

Always cool to see family/partners. My wife does so much to help support my running - very lucky/grateful! ♥️

[@jimmysteyee9394]

Quickly becoming my fav marathoner and KZbinr!

[@LinkletterRory]

That means a lot, thank you!

[@brianway4240]

Agree. Been waiting for this one to come out. Excellent run!

[@PatrickAllison]

Great video, all of Canada should take great pride in having you on their Olympic team. Wishing you the best of luck.

[@namebutler]

That finish kick was impressive!!!! Congrats from Toronto.

[@irondistance4313]

Congratulations, what an awesome achievement and to have the family there is amazing. Good luck getting a selection and beyond

[@willydiaz1417]

best of luck!

[@AdamWoodRuns]

GREAT VIDEO! Congratulations 👏🏼

[@ShaneLavell]

Verse the two choices of shoes - 5cm per stride x 180SPM = 9 meters a minute, 540m a hour, 1,080m over two hours and 1,152m over a 2:08 marathon. At 2:08 pace that's roughly 3:30 in propulsion forward or 2.75%

[@LinkletterRory]

Yeah, if that was the only factor measured, more numbers in the calculation that I didn’t share, like the other shoe I had a higher cadence so that would negate some of that stride length advantage.

[@Notnotcam]

Incredible story telling

[@stamina_media]

A beautiful film with a captivating story. Having your family be involved in such an important moment in your career and capitalizing on that opportunity is everything! Nothing but respect and gratitude for you! 😁

[@LinkletterRory]

Just a couple of clips until the master got his hands on them... Thanks for bringing the story to life

[@progressionhealth]

You deserve more followers, well done great content and video. 2:07 coming up 🙏

[@nothing-q4u]

I've really enjoyed following all you BYU/Utah guys now in the marathon scene. You, Adam, Connor, Clayton, Michael, and Cheney. I think you guys need to come up with a catchy nickname along the lines of Rat Pack, Frat Pack, Brat Pack...

Hey Rory, first of all congrats for qualifying, am looking forward to watching you run in Paris! Also, how very cool that you travelled with the family, I may be way slower but can connect with the running dad vibe! Your Greek tattoo is super cool👍

[@LinkletterRory]

Love it man, it isn’t easy for anyone to balance the role of fatherhood and athlete.. but I think the principles that allow success for one also apply to the other!

[@georgios.a]

@@LinkletterRory absolutely! Raising children is not a sprint, it’s a marathon!

You seem like such a nice guy! I live in Seville and also did the marathon last weekend. Lovely to hear you speak so fondly of Seville and the marathon.

[@LinkletterRory]

Seville will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏼

[@Roeban89]

Such a privlege to get an inside look in your runners weekend and the lead up to the marathon with your family. It was truly inspiring stuff! Great video overall! kudos to you and your family, keep up the good work! We hope to see you in Paris!

[@roopekanerva5606]

Congrats! Thanks for sharing your shoe test and running economy tests, very interesting. Next time visit Valencia, should be just as fast as Seville. You against old BYU teammates in the olympics? Going to be fun to witness Rory! I remember that workout video with music hearing Ed motivating you guys, Clayton and Connor etc. Funny thing is that I found you three guys having a special running form and now you are olympians! You with your hands and arms. Clayton totally laid back posture. Connor with his legs inwards in someway always looking like he's grinding and fighting for his life in his facial expression. Keep on grinding Rory!

[@LinkletterRory]

Valencia is on the list!

[@joebarney9847]

So well captured. Congrats!

[@kjsssl33]

Rory, amazing accomplishment. I know you are in the heart of competing but the most important thing is to appreciate the experiences you will have with your family. I was able to qualify for Kona at 50 and brought my family with me to share in the experience. Memories will last a life time regardless of the result. As a father, no matter what the outcome please make sure to appreciate every experience you have with your family. Enjoy the ride, but appreciate all of the experiences!!!!! Good Luck!!!

[@laurainthehaute918]

I’m looking forward to what’s next for you! Love this video. I have to say as someone who is a running fan and a marathoner, I just love all the Puma athletes. Not only are the shoes great but Puma supports the finest men and women in the sport. You’re one of them!❤ (plus I’m Minnesota raised so I’m almost Canadian) 🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@LinkletterRory]

Puma 📈 Thanks for the kind comment 👍🏼
