The performance: You could say Barnett won one for the thumb, but if he had a ring for all his victories, that all his fingers and toes would have long ago been accounted for.
Barnett conquerd his homwtown course for the fifth time Saturday by winning the half-marathon at the Volcano Rain Forest Runs for the fourth year in a row.
For his next trick, Barnett says he may try his hand at triathlons.
