Some races and such that I've finished...

Living in Pittsburgh....

1988-1994

1990

Pittsburgh Marathon (paved roads)

1991

Michigan National 24-Hour Challenge (road biking). Did 300 miles in 17 hours, but then called it a night---I needed to be awake and sociable the next morning, for a family reunion with the in-laws. (I think this was 1991. Might have been 1992.)

Marine Corps Marathon (DC) (paved roads)

1992
