Possibly the Most Revealing NYC Marathon Outfit Ever

While many runners tend to wear body-skimming outfits to increase their running performance, we're amazed/impressed with one runner's outift: A Borat-style neon green bathing suit. arvindgrover took this photograph in which you can clearly make out his bib number. Based on that, it appears the runner is 27-year-old Jack Markham of Great Britain, who finished with a time of 4:33:29. And for the truly brave, Flickr user Lori (ldp1109) says she saw Markham many times because he was running near her brother--she has more photographs with front and back views.

Richard Quest is back on CNN! ...from London. (Hampstead Heath, anyone?)

What is it about the British when they come here?!? First Richard Quest was arrested with a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals and meth in his pocket, now this guy.

It's pathetic, his being so desperate for attention. It's a shame race organizers didn't have the sense and courage to pull his hairy ass off the course. The race is for everone, runners and spectators. Little kids shouldn't have to see that. Ass-hat.

Too bad he didn't take a fall and scrape his meats.

It's one small step for a showboating douchebag, and one giant leap for the Borat Mankini.

Maybe he wore that so people wouldn't notice the ridiculous mullett he was wearing! Today he knows the meaning of chafing.

Yeah, it was hard to miss Borat. I've got a few of him as well:

I thought that was pretty hardcore and very funny, especially since most of the other runners has teched out running gear on. That's a really respectable time as well.

I just had a phone cam as he ran through Greenpoint yesterday, but I uploaded it to Flickr as well, 2 runners he passed were looking at him like, "wha...?"

Oh man, I post 99 pictures of the marathon and this is the one I get love for! Oh well, I guess it was quite the spectacle. Apparently lots of people captured him too. Rest of my marathon set is here.
