Rex lowered his head for a moment, and then responded quite firmly, "Bet on me." We did, and we/he won. That seems awfully fast, but he was very fit, so perhaps my memory isn't off.

Some people surprise you.
We had a member in my ward, whom I regarded as "older", when I was in my early thirties, that while in his fifties, ran a 2:42 at St. George. It still boggles my mind. In his sixties, such speed did him in and he often experienced injuries.
So I refuse to race marathons. Okay, that's the excuse that I tell people.
