“While working at Bletchley, Turing, who was a talented long-distance runner, occasionally ran the 40 miles (64 km) to London when he was needed for meetings,[91] and he was capable of world-class marathon standards.[92][93] Turing tried out for the 1948 British Olympic team, but he was hampered by an injury. His tryout time for the marathon was only 11 minutes slower than British silver medallist Thomas Richards' Olympic race time of 2 hours 35 minutes.” (From Wikipedia)

@BenjaminHan The only common thing I have with him. 
I did also a 2:46 a while back at the Frankfurt marathon in Germany. But that’s it. I am way behind his other achievements. It is ok, I can live with that. 
This is fast!
