    Featured Races

**** 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!
