40 year streak

I picked up my first win of the year at Dartmouth Relays last weekend.  My streak of winning at least one race in a year has now reach 40 consecutive years (1979-2018).  This was certainly an unusual win as it came in a 400 meter race!  That is definitely not my best distance (laugh).  I’ve got 388 wins out of 1407 races.  It is always nice to get a win early in the year, now there isn’t as much pressure to keep the streak going.
