According to an article, triathlons lead marathons in sudden deaths. Neither sport is turning into a Killing Field, but triathlons loose a few more, mostly in the swimming department. Marathons, however, lead in slow, painful deaths, mostly after 20 miles. Saw Katie, F.J., and Andy over at the Rose Bowl last Saturday. They ran the Pasadena Marathon with all the wind and rain. F.J. thought it a cursed race. At one point, the wind blew down two huge palm fronds that just missed Andy. I told him he had his Palm Sunday a week early. Andy gave a weak laugh and went away.
At least he was safe and didn't add to any statistics.
