If you know anything about the Nats’ Presidents’ Race, you know that Teddy Roosevelt has never managed to win one. But, apparently, his training regimen has begun to expand. See, I hear tell that he ran the Marine Corps Marathon this weekend.
Check out the bib number in the photo above, it’s 28796. If you look up Teddy’s bib on the results, you see that he finished in 6:26:49. Looks pretty well paced, if you ask me, but that last 5K was a killer…
Nice job, Teddy!
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
Amazing, isn’t it? Teddy is obviously a long-distance specialist. Maybe if the presidents race were 26 miles, he’d win one!
Way to go. Perhaps he will win one where it counts soon. Let’s hope all of this off-season training isn’t for not.
