From Kittery ME to Salisbury MA GBTC men dominated the race in preparation for their bid to win the team prize again in the Boston Marathon. I confessed to putting a great deal of pressure on these runners. I told them when they left for the race that since I had asked the race director for complimentary entry for them that they had to run from the front, win or die.
Giannis Papadopoulos confirmed that ancient Greek Mothers would tell their sons who went off to battle to come home victorious with their shield or carried dead upon it. They came home victorious.
