20 years ago:
December 1998
I only raced twice but I made the most of it, with the
first races as a tune-up for the second.
I headed to Framingham for a 5.1 mile race the first weekend and won in
26:18. I was not happy with the result
and noted I “felt crappy”. Probably felt
lousy from dropping down the mileage in anticipation of the Rocket City
marathon. I headed to Huntsville with
Dan Verrington and Byrne Decker. CMS had
some history at Rocket City and we were hoping for another team victory. I felt lousy in the early miles but better
after half-way. I moved up from 11th
place at 13 to 8th by 18 and finally into 4th place at 23 miles. I held on to 4th place running 2:22:35. Dan
took 9th in 2:27 and Byrne just missed the top 10 ($$$$) getting passed by the
Russian in the closing stages as he ran 2:28 and change.
