Jerry Allanach sent in a race report after running the Catalina Island Marathon in California:
Striders like Gene Roy and Ron Paquette that ran with me back in the '80s will likely recall how much I have always loved this California trail run. While starting and finishing at sea level, in between the roller-coaster run through mountains adds an estimated 4,310 vertical feet of climbing, and of course that means you also have to experience a much more muscle punishing 4,310 feet of running downhill. ...
As we age we have to get somewhat creative when claiming victory, so here is my self-proclaimed marathon triple crown.
