We've come a long way
I began my competitive running career when I participated in my first marathon in August, 1971 in Central Park. I remember the experience as if it happened yesterday. It was 90 degrees, humid, and I had very little to drink during the entire 26.2 miles. Only 13 runners took their places at the starting line. Around three hours and 45 minutes hours after the start of the race, I approached the final yards and sprinted across the finish line ahead of the runner catching up to me. My competitive nature led to my resolve that I would not succumb to another runner. Upon finishing, the person I just beat yelled to the small group at the finish line to get me water and summoned another volunteer to wrap a cold towel around my neck to help me cool down. This good samaritan turned out to be Fred Lebow, the Father of the NYC Marathon. Fortunately I did not suffer any serious health consequences from running 26 miles in 90 degree temperature while drinking less than a few cups of water. After all, stopping to drink during competition would cause my finish time to suffer. To this day, I do not know how my ignorance regarding the importance of hydration did not result in dire consequences.
