A Barefoot Finish

3/25/2010

I was recently shown an article about the winner of this past weekend's Rome marathon, who boldy removed his shoes in the final stretch of the race as a tribute to fellow "Ethiopian Abebe Bikila, who won the 1960 Olympic marathon in Rome after running the entire course without shoes." That's pretty cool if you ask me, though Siraj Gena, the eventual champ, must've been pretty cocky to take the time to shed his shoes with runners close behind him. Imagine if he had lost! He would have been the guy who blew the lead because he wasted time removing his shoes. That would have sent the barefoot running movement a bunch.
