 Rock The Creek 5k

(Sunday October 10th - Rock Creek Park, Grove 24)

 

**** Click on "2008 Boston Marathon" link below to see Lance Armstrong and me racing shoulder-to-shoulder!  It's a two-part 20-second clip taken from mile 22 (WBZ-TV broadcasting).  I'm in a red singlet and black shorts, he should be easy to spot in yellow.  I'm ahead of him by a few steps in the first segment, then we're together in the bottom screen in the second segment.

Photo on left: Dave Scott & me at the 2007 Cape Henry Duathlon awards!  I was fortunate enough to chat one-on-one with the 6x Hawaii Ironman winner before and after the race.

Photo on right: Peter Reid and me at the 2008 Boston Marathon expo!  Once again, I was privileged to talk one-on-one to a Hawaii Ironman winner (Reid won 3x).  The photo is blurry because we move so fast!

Photo on right: Michael Wardian and me after the Capital Striders inaugural 8k twilight race on the Canal.  Needless to say, Wardian dusted me that night!  Wardian is the National Champ at the 50k, 100k, and 50-mile distances!
