Flash Gordie
On March 5th, Gordon Powell, a triathlete and runner that I coach, ran 2:54:03 at the Albany Marathon. With that performance, he set a big personal record, went well under the vaunted three-hour mark for the first time, and easily qualified for next year’s Boston Marathon. It was a fantastic race from an outstanding athlete, and we were all very proud of him. In the weeks since Gordie posted that result, several people have asked me if I was surprised by his great performance
