RE: PESO - 2 of Grete Waitz
From: Ann Sanfedele Grete Waitz died today, awfully young... 57. She won the New York City Marathon 9 times. I got these two shots in 1980 - that year was her 3rd win and the second time she broke a world record. http://annsan.smugmug.com/On-the-Road-or-On-Foot/New-York-City-back-in-the-day/5908739_3pLhP/1/1257776747_SB5Pz6K/Large http://annsan.smugmug.com/Talented-People/Talented-People-BW-photos/3605515_N6r2N/1/1257775383_97WxSPX/Large A few years ago I sold the silver gel print of the second of these on ebay.. it was purchased , as it happens, by a friend of hers who gave it to her as a present. I was mighty pleased about that. Wish I'd gotten sharper shots - what is interesting to me in the second one is - who is that guy with the very high number bsting her by a few feet in that shot? I think at some point I tried to find out if it was someone who later became something of a star but now don't remember what I learned , if anything. Ain't that the way it always goes? Can't remember what I learned, if anything. Story of my life. Shame about Ms Waitz. There was another famous runner, I think his name was Jim Fixx, who dropped dead of a heart attack at a very young age. Someone made a comment at the time that he was born with a weak heart and that the fitness from running probably kept him from having that heart attack sooner. I dunno. I like the photos. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

From: P. J. Alling Exercise, eat right, eschew alcohol and tobacco, die anyway. Sad but not surprising. I've had a lot, or so it seams, of younger, (in their 30's, 40's and 50's), friends die recently. My personal theory is that you are born with a certain allocation of running miles. That's all you get. When you've used them all up, you're gone. I'm hoarding whatever I might have left until I really need 'em. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO - 2 of Grete Waitz
thanks JOhn -- Mark pointed out, having see THIS post earliest, that the first photo had nothing to do with the marathon... but now reading what I wrote just before the first link, that still could have applied... but it aint true. the buildings were taken very much later and certainly didnt not imply any editorial comment in a macabre black humor way on Grete's untimely demise. ann John Sessoms wrote: From: Ann Sanfedele Grete Waitz died today, awfully young... 57.

those are both really good shots. I have some shots of Paula Radcliffe in the London Marathon a few years ago, but they're not as atmospheric as yours. It's a difficult thing to get a good one.
