My Boston Marathon
Posted On 6/26/2006 11:02:37 PM by Sandy
Seventeen years old and dumber than a box of rocks. One day (exactly 7 days before the race) I walked into a training session between two of my teachers. I asked them what they were training for and they replied "Boston". I did not know what they were talking about, but continued to ask them questions. A marathon, huh? I had thought to myself. "Could I run with you". I never had run over 6 miles and was about to embark on a huge journey.

1982: Dhahran Track Meet
Posted On 6/26/2006 11:02:37 PM by Sandy
This race is one of my favorites to tell. Mainly I realized during this day that I was a tremendous talent in running. I had hoped to do well in this track meet and it ended up this was my only positive in an otherwise disappointing meet. Now, I usually did not have a terrible meet, but this at least made up for my horrible 800 meter run. I still remember the roar of the crowd as I passed the lead runner after making up almost a quarter of a mile.

Learn how this competition all got started in Hawaii. The Ironman Triathlon began in 1978. A naval commander named John Collins (stationed at this time in Hawaii) was sitting at an awards ceremony for a local Honolulu running race. He ended up in a hot argument over which athletes were in the best condition: runners or swimmers. John Collins himself was both a runner and a swimmer. He had been reading about the bike race the Tour de France and it's legend Eddie Merckx. He decided that cyclists were in the best condition of all. So he issued a challenge that he felt would settle the argument.
