A great read. It was way too early for a serious ante, but not so early that the contenders could afford to ignore it; they had to burn precious energy reeling in the pair. John Brant. Squires wanted to keep Beardsley as removed from the race excitement as possible. DK Eyewitness. Books about crazy dedication obsession to pushing oneself to greater achievements. Paperback —. I think he and I have a special bond. Instead Beardsley soon began a descent into drug addiction that brought him perilously close to dying. That tore it, he thought; the best he could do now was crawl in. Their shadows are still with them, but they are unarmed. Dewey Decimal. The two men ran neck and neck for the final nine miles of the race, with Salazar pulling ahead in the end and winning by just two seconds. At age 34, he resumed training. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. Dec 09, Derek rated it really liked it. So they camped out in the house of a town matron. But one day in , Salazar picked up a tract that his father had sent him. The result of this style is that the story of the marathon and the story of the two men's lives are told simultaneously throughout the book. Stay in Touch Sign up. Now that I run marathons this book gives me a whole new appreciation for the sport and just how far it has come in 30 years. Duel in the Sun: Alberto Salazar, Dick Beardsley, and Americas Greatest Marathon Writer Give the video above a watch and let the chills run through you as you prepare for this coming Marathon Monday. On the day of the marathon, Beardsley broke fast from the start on the Verrazano Narrows Bridge and by midrace had established a significant lead over the rest of the pack. In fact, he barely touches upon his running career at all. He rocketed into another world—one without stress or strain or worry. But it's a character story as much as a race report, one that's simultaneously triumphant and heartbreaking, tragic and life-affirming. Beardsley started to sprint. The story includes the lives of Beardsley and Salazar. DK Eyewitness. Beardsley, the most innocent of men, descended into felony drug addiction, and Salazar, the toughest of men, fell prey to depression. Soon afterward, with nothing left to prove, he retired from competitive distance running, and began to coach. Apr 23, Kathryn rated it really liked it. On the track, he was the second-fastest American ever in the 10, meters and a member of the Olympic team. Stay in Touch Sign up. As great as Beardsley is, he's also a convicted felon. For a while, Dick sat in the chair, his feet up on the table, by turns watching the TV and the morning light rising on Hereford Street. I am inspired to read their biographies now, to learn more about each runner. Salazar won Comrades and became a great coach for Nike. Beardsley, meanwhile, faded to a ninth-place, finish. Any moment now Beardsley might blow up and drop away like a disintegrating booster rocket. These have been the seven hardest, and the seven most wonderful, years of my life. Also by John Brant. Aug 14, Ruth rated it really liked it. As a runner, he pushed until he collapsed from heat exhaustion. At the Boston Marathon, by contrast, just 21 runners logged or better. Thanks for telling us about the problem. He was glad to have her with him, but it also felt somewhat strange. Paperback —. Duel in the Sun: Alberto Salazar, Dick Beardsley, and Americas Greatest Marathon Reviews I was presently surprised about the depth and detail of the book. During training, he typically ran to miles per week, an average of just under 20 miles a day. I have read several biographies of runners, with upbringings a lot more challenging and interesting than those of Salazar or Beardsley, but I think Brant did a fantastic job of telling the story of the 82 Boston Marathon as what it was, one of the most important and epic events in running history and also in the lives of both runners. Oct 18, Lindsay Gasik rated it really liked it. Then, hoping to catch Salazar flatfooted, he would surge. This content is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page to help users provide their email addresses. Salazar won Comrades and became a great coach for Nike. He spent a long time combing the aisles, studying various titles. Just when Beardsley thought nothing more could possibly go wrong, something did. Some books, especially nonfiction, tend to repeat themselves and make me wish the author had been satisfied with a nice page feature, but Brant doesn't, he's just really thorough. Salazar was pressured to succeed from an early age, and one must respect, if nothing else, his drive to win no matter the effort involved. He appeared to be the same great guy as always: friendly, generous, outgoing, forthright, not in the least bit pompous despite his past as a world-class athlete. After reading mostly magazine, newspaper and internet articles for quite a long time, it made me really appreciate reading something with enough space to lay out all the details and background. He never fell more than few strides from Beardsley. But once the race started, he ran with his trademark ferocity. The Numbers Game. Like that marathon 25 years ago, Duel in the Sun is absolutely riveting. Feb 26, Lostinanovel rated it it was ok. Both teams, he reports, are thriving. I enjoyed learning about it. After his world-record performance in New York City last autumn, Sports Illustrated published a long, adulatory profile of him. Readers also enjoyed. It was great to see the book end as it did, with the reunion of Salazar and Beardsley at Beardsley's half-marathon in Minnesota. So let Beardsley and Squires think they could break him on the hills. Stephanie Puglisi and Jeremy Puglisi. Duel in the Sun: Alberto Salazar, Dick Beardsley, and Americas Greatest Marathon Read Online For a moment, his poise falters and he seems like a traumatized man who, after exhaustive therapy, can finally talk about his past. Beardsley pulled his crushed leg out of the machine and crawled out to the yard, where Mary finally found him. Mar 06, ISBN It was great to see the book end as it did, with the reunion of Salazar and Beardsley at Beardsley's half-marathon in Minnesota. But Salazar covered every move. The sport did not lend itself to prude or poses. Mile 24 had passed, so his one-more-mile scheme seemed to be working. He visited a cardiologist. Workouts that I used to fly through became an ordeal. Great story about the tolls of distance running, mortality, and humanizing even elite athletes. So what would be different here in Boston 18 months later? I started off not liking this book. Ultimately he worked himself into the ground, at least where running is concerned, and this book makes clear that Salazar has had to live with the regret of that ever since. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Then he was caught in a whirlwind. Jun 24, Suzy rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites. Jan 30, Christopher rated it really liked it. He would drive hard for yards, then back off for For anyone who has ever dreamed of or completed a marathon The motorcycles massed together and for the first time all day, Dick Beardsley lost sight of his opponent. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. Wearing jeans, a red pullover, and a blue fleece vest, whip-cord lean and with a lilt to his step, Beardsley might be mistaken for an athlete in his prime, rather than a man of Oct 18, Lindsay Gasik rated it really liked it. I feel much differently now and it's a good reminder that everyone you meet has a story that is rarely obvious. Beardsley punched the bus in frustration. At the bait shop, or on a boat with a client, Beardsley never slurred his words or stumbled. Puzzles and Games to Play at Home. The Art of the Short Game. He could forget about his time and focus on that single and sovereign goal. Salazar knew they were dreaming. Since Beardsley was just 26 and Salazar 23, everyone assumed that this would be the start of a long and glorious rivalry, one that would galvanize the public and seal American dominance in the marathon through the Olympics and beyond. A hard right turn onto Hereford Street. The story gradually becomes an intense contest between Beardsley and Salazar as they leave the rest of the runners behind during the latter part of the marathon. Showing This was just ok for me. Down to a half mile to go, Beardsley was still in the lead and then his hamstring gave out. Look Inside. Upon his return home, Jose started sending Medjugorge literature to Alberto in Oregon. Squires went into his usual patter. Alberto Salazar feared no opponent, at least none that he could see. Beardsley had to weave his way through the motorcycles.

  • Peaks and Valleys: the History of Competitive Distance Running in the U.S
    Peaks And Valleys: The History Of Competitive Distance Running In The U.S. Since 1954 Ben Raphelson Grinnell College 1 Introduction I began to run seriously in the summer of 2000 before I entered high school. At the time, I had very little knowledge of the sport beyond my team and the teams we competed against in our conference and state. That fall, attending my first cross-country state meet, I watched Dathan Ritzenhein, a senior and defending high school national champion obliterate the field and win the 5-kilometer race by nearly a minute. 1 The summer of 2001 was my first track season and happened to coincide with Alan Webb breaking Jim Ryun’s high school mile record. These performances came early in my involvement with the sport, and perhaps as a result, I did not truly appreciate their significance. I may have been dimly aware of a disconnect between these stunning high school performances and the woeful state of professional distance running in the United States, but took little notice. As my interest in the sport grew with my involvement in it, I heard romanticized stories about amazing U.S. runners from the past, giants like Jim Ryun and Frank Shorter. Growing up, I was without any such role model on the world- stage. As my academic interests turned towards history at Grinnell College, and my running career continued, I inevitably sought to combine the two. In the fall of 2006, I began discussions of a summer project with my research and academic advisors at Grinnell. My goal, put simply, was to figure out what happened to elite distance running in the United States.

Varsity and junior varsity races are five kilometers (3.1 miles), and novice races are 3 kilometers (1.86 miles). The races take place over natural terrain, often including grass, dirt, and gravel. It is a fall season sport, but training takes place year round! What to Expect Running! And weights, drills, stretching, breathing exercises, team fun, and more! Cross Country is a team sport. Athletes support each other while running, develop team tactics for races, and score as a team at meets. You do not have to try out or survive roster cuts to make the team. Cross Country is great on its own but also a great way to maintain your athletic base for other sports! Being on the team means you will receive coaching, attention, and time. In return, teammates offer their best effort, support for each other, attend practices, and participate in meets. Training Training for the Cross Country season begins in the late spring and continues through the fall season. Off-season weights and runs are also held during winter, and all Cross Country athletes are encouraged to participate in Track & Field in the spring, with a focus on distance and middle distance events (3000m, 1500m, 800m).
