I stumbled across this article this morning. I'm not sure if anyone has read it before but it is, in my opinion, a must read. It's the best depiction of a race that I have ever read. The best part is that Salazar and Beardsley give their accounts of memorable moments in the race. My favorite part is where Beardsley is trying to break Salazar. The psychological games they played in their heads was inspiring. I got pumped up just reading it. I feel like going out and pounding 15 miles now.
