Having just finished re-reading the NY Times article by Mike Wise (9/17/00)
which I had submitted to the Track and Field Writer's of America (TAFWA)
newsletter, I realize that it is most certainly amongst my all time
favorites. It is entitled "The Third man in Mexico City" and is about Peter
Norman...the Australian 200 meter silver medalist...right up there on the
medal podium with Tommie Smith and John Carlos in '68.
Others on that list include Ken Kesey's coverage (Running Magazine) of the
1980 Olympic Track and Field Trials as well as Hunter S. Thompson's version
of the Honolulu Marathon...you know, the one where he continually refers to
eventual winner, Duncan MacDonald, as "Drunken McDeviate"
On the more serious side, an article from 8?/85 Runner's World on optimal
training paces passes as my single favorite, most right-on, comprehensive
long distance training overview...along with just about anything that Pete
Pfitzinger writes in Running Times these days.
What are your favorite articles...and why??
