A man has beaten a London Underground train in a race.

I thought this was pretty cool and wanted to take a quick break from US politics. Very impressive run. Can't embed video because Twitter...but definitely check it out.

The fitness freak got off the District Line train at Mansion House station in London’s financial district and ran east through a series of back streets to the next stop – Canon Street – with just enough time to spare to leap onto the same carriage of the same train before it continued on its way.
