Know Your SCRC History
In the spring of 1934(or thereabouts) Kirk and “Double-D” agreed to train then race together at Grandma’s Marathon. Only after the race did they each admit, separately, they had the same pre-race strategy (paraphrasing) My plan was to use [the other guy] through mile 20. Then I’d drop him.
More than a decade later at his going away luncheon, Double-D (bib 1737) handed to each runner in attendance a photocopy of his Grandma’s finish that day along with some personal comments—the debate about mechanical doping via shoe technology was raging even back then. Note at the top of the photo Double-D graciously pointed out Kirk’s finish position relative to his own, a power move that solidified his place in the SCRC pecking order history.
