What did you accomplish by the time you were 21?

At 21 years old, Hayle is not the youngest Boston Marathon winner ever — that honor goes to Timothy Ford of Cambridge, who won the 10th Boston Marathon as an 18-year-old in 1906 — but the result was still shocking to many.

Boston Marathon Winner, Lemi Berhanu Hayle is only 21 YEARS OLD!!!!! ????????

Hayle’s win inspired some reactions from the 21-and-over crowd on Twitter, whose accomplishments seem somewhat less monumental in comparison.

To the 21-year-old who just won the Boston marathon: My parents already think I’m a failure, you’re just making it worse.

A 21 year old won the Boston Marathon, and I’m in bed while procrastinating reading 10 pages for psychotherapy

A 21 year old man just won the Boston Marathon and the last time I ran a mile was in 4th grade gym class

Fret not, young couch potatoes of Boston. There’s always next year.

So a 21 year old just won the Boston Marathon. Next year I’ll be running the Boston Marathon. I will be 21 years old. Coincidence? Entirely
