This is your cross-country workout for Monday, October 24, 2022.
Our picture today is of Rod Dixon, the winner of the 1983 NYC Marathon. Rod won the bronze medal at the 1,500 metes in the 1972 Olympics, was 4th in the 5,000m in 1976 and by 1981, we winning nearly everything on the roads. In the 1983 NYC Marathon, he caught Geoff Smith at 26 mile point and won, in front of a global TV audience!
