June 26th, 1991

(From THE BOOT, Parris Island, S.C.) After a 7-year layoff from racing I decided to see if I had anything left in the tank...and ended up having my best year ever...by far! This was one of the earlier races and I wasn't happy being the day's first loser (although I did win my age group). I chalked it up to being rusty and decided it wasn't going to happen again (although a 20:09 4-mile wasn't shabby). By the end of the year I had won my age group in every race and was the overall winner in 18 of 21 races. As it turned out, this would be the last year I could of competed as I spent the majority of the next 9 years either deployed or stationed at-sea or overseas.
