Personal battles
The rivalries
Race results are full of strangers, but a few names keep showing up. These are the runners who turned the archive into a story — the ones he's chasing, the ones he owns, and the family he just can't seem to beat.
The white whale
Rich Wood
0–2 · two losses, combined 8.8 seconds
The closest rival in the archive. Two meetings, two defeats, both inside five seconds — one of them on the day Harrison set his 5K PR. This is the rematch the whole site is quietly waiting for.
The family feud
The Fullers
0–12 vs Norm & John · 5–0 vs Darlene
Six races against Norm, six against John, and the record is clean on the wrong side. But the feud has a silver lining: Darlene has never finished ahead of him. Family dinners must be interesting.
The nemesis wall
Unbeaten against Harrison, six races each. For now.
0–6
Brian St.jean — perfect record, 6 meetings
0–6
Thomas Lehoullier — perfect record, 6 meetings
0–6
Meredith Mcgowan — perfect record, 6 meetings
The victims wall
Never once finished behind Harrison. Some streaks run the other way.
7–0
Joe Misterka — beaten all 7 times they met
5–0
“Anonymous Runner” — 5–0. Whoever that is.
Records come from official race results only — nothing here is personal, it's all public finish data. Head-to-heads use chip times where available, gun times otherwise. Excludes the Summit Run 5K (Sep 20, 2026), a mountain course where times aren't comparable. Data: 8 races, 2022–2026. When a new race happens, send the results file and the rivalries get updated with it.
