considerable stamina over long distance. For example, I know for a fact that you yourself once ran a cross country race faster than 8 other people.

I hate to be pedantic, but exactly how does that indicate anything about our stamina as a species? If you took a sprint animal like a cheetah and got 300 of them to run a cross-country race, there'd still end up being one who came first (and one who came 9th-last).

That said, you're the second person to have mentioned that humans actually aren't bad in the stamina stakes, so fair point.

What does this indicate? bugger all, obviously.

On the other hand, how many of your year could you hand-on-heart say were definitely fully human? I can only think of one, and even he was convinced that x was equivalent to 3.
