history by half an hour you know what's funny on the official URL_TOKEN site they say it was a controversial victory because hicks had been helped by his trainers at various points along the route he'd been helped i mean except for that last bit if i didn't know any better i would think they were actively torturing him he was spongebob out of the water level dehydrated he wasn't allowed to drink water only moisturize his mouth and then spit it out i mean props for resisting the temptation of billion years of evolution i tell him to just drink the water please and then to make things worse it's really hot and somebody showers his body with warm water at least he's thinking well it will cool off and then it's going to be really refreshing but then he's showered with water again any time before that happens all of that on a diet of raw eggs and brandy and then to top it all off being fat rat poison that makes them hallucinate so i don't know if it's fair to say they helped him there's this term in endurance sports of hitting the wall when you are all out of electrolytes thomas hicks didn't hit the wall he took the wall out for dinner and then it ate him he lost eight pounds and almost died if it wasn't for doctors treating him immediately after crossing the finish line he retired after the marathon and never ran again and then the russian team arrived hello thank you for watching this was a lot of work so a very special thanks to my first patrons oNUMBER_TOKEN inhaler tim vandenberg and taylor hops you absolute mad lads if you want your name to be fourth in the credits of all of this channel's videos forever then you need to hurry up and subscribe to my patreon before somebody else does it if you don't feel like subscribing this yet just give this video a like anyways see you next time have a lovely day
