Macca



The L.A. Leggers final training run, before the L.A. Marathon, of one mile was yesterday.  I wasn't even going to go until I heard that after the run Chris "Macca" McCormack was going to be the speaker.  Macca is the current world Ironman champion and a really incredible triathlete. He completed the marathon portion of the Kona Ironman, one of the hardest, hottest, most humid runs in the world in 2:42. Amazing. He was inspirational and a real regular bloke. He really pressed the point that unless you are injured, just keep going. It is much better to have a slow time and finish than to quit.
