"Paul Ryan Time Calculator" Website allows you to convert any race time into "Ryan Equivalent"



Paul Ryan, a long-nosed wooden puppet who wants to be a real vice president one day, got caught lying about his marathon time. Last week, the Bowhunter told right-wing radio host Hugh Hewitt that he ran a sub-three hour marathon — an impressive feat even for someone who does the P90X workout. Runner’s World magazine then uncovered Ryan’s real time of 4:01:25. The scoop prompted a statement from Ryan himself.

Now, thanks to the Paul Ryan Time Calculator, you can convert any race time into its Paul Ryan equivalent. Say you ran 100m in 10 seconds (you didn’t), what’s that in Ryan time? 7.25 seconds. A new world record!

... converts to 14:34:10. And I now hold the course record at Western States by 12 minutes, 34 seconds!

Of course, if Tim Olson converts his previous course record, that becomes 10:42:52 which beats Oleg Kharitonov's 100 mile world record on a track (11:28:03) by 45 minutes and 11 seconds. Nice work Tim!!!!

And if Oleg converts his world record 100 mile time he ends up with a new World Record of 8:18:50...which is exactly 16 minutes over twice Paul Ryan's marathon time. Better luck next time, Oleg.
