I'd be happy with last place if my time was 2:14.. surely you won with that time?
6th in san francisco, 30th in dublin, 99th in berlin, 103rd in london
1st in the frozen north treadmill marathon, and 1st in the last 5 Minnesota special Olympics marathons.
42nd in London 2006
it's the Jacksonville Marathon.
simply saying 2:14 means he crushed everyone by 10 minutes.
Top 100 (I think?) in the AAU championship marathon, 1972.
Hey, it was a national championship. By definition, that makes it a major.
won by Ron Wayne who dueled with John Vitale? I remember reading about it in RW , complete with pics, when RW was a serious runners magazine.
22 at 2004 twin cities, if that is not a major then 80th at 2006 chicago
169th, New York 1983. 3rd age group, New York 2006.
1972 Liverpool NY AAU Nat Champs won by Eddie Norris, like 2:24?. 90°F humid. Jack Fultz was there top ten. I was 11th 2:30:38. I think Wayne and Vitale dueled another year.
I do remember a fire hose at 20 miles set on fine spray in the bright sunshine making a rainbow we ran through. I thought I was entering the land of OZ.

Jesus, I remember that hose! By the time I got there (I think it might have been a bit before or after 20, actually), some idiot had leveled it and the water came full bore, rather than arcing up and then onto us.
The hose blew me off the road and onto the shoulder. Meanwhile the water was shooting up my nostrils and for a couple seconds I thought I was going to drown while running the National marathon.
I remember getting to dress next to Ted Corbitt before the race, and standing next to him at the start (he was maybe 30 years older than I?--and out of sight in a minute and a half); running (and losing) an all-out sprint for the last 300 yards, with a guy I'd run with for about 20 miles; sitting in the showers for half an hour after the race was over; and "rehydrating" with 22 cups of the free Coke that they were giving away at the finish. (Curiously, I didn't sleep very well that night and was rather antsy the next day, when I took a college final that was my only grade in the course.)
That's clearly a made up story. It's impossible to run a marathon without a GPS, iPod, energy drink, and Gu.
don't know what I was overall, but I pulled a 3rd at Honolulu, a 10th at LA, a 2nd at Portland (not major) and top 15 in a bunch of others in the xx chromosome division. late 80's early 90's.
