It's an internet forum where very few people actually know one another. So sure, I think it's natural to take some things with a grain of salt.

This is getting a bit absurd. 42 with a tailwind and 37-38 regularly is absolutely nothing special. I don't know you, nor you, me. So, you have absolutely no idea what I've done and haven't done and...

Obviously you're being sarcastic but none of those numbers are world class or worthy of racing. The point stands. There are many, people who can easily hit those numbers.

I concur, especially with points 1. and 5. They look unfinished and lack refinement. Also, saying the cleats still worked after walking two miles, doesn't tell me much about their longevity.
