I ran Cross Country against Alberto Salazar, in high school. He won three NY Marathons and a Boston Marathon, all with times sub 2 hrs. 10 minute times. He finished 15th in the '84 Olympics.
My coach used me as a "rabbit". I started out at nearly a full sprint. Alberto passed me about 200 yards into things and that was the last I ever saw of him. Even with me doping (I took a couple tokes before the race...LOL) I, nor anyone else had a chance. Mr. Salazar could flat out run...........
