Activating Deena Kastor

The United States' Deena Kastor won the women's race at the Chicago Marathon today with a time of 2:21:25. As my brother was stepping onto the elevator at the marathon headquarters hotel, Kastor was coming out. A guy walking past said, "Hey, what was your time today?"

"Two twenty-one," replied Kastor, failing to mention she won the race. For being a humble elite athlete, Deena Kastor, you have been permanently Activated.

Here's Kastor breaking the tape.
