LOL!!! What a joke!

I think the man is/was a GIANT, on the basis of that one race, alone.....

If I got any of that wrong, please correct me; that's the best I can do after 40 years of shaking my head about it (Yes, I was there.) Still shaking my head about that truly amazing accomplishment.

Of course, he gets my vote.. but, I'd nominate Ben Wenzel for First Runner-Up...
Can you say "persistence"????
Anyplace you can get footage of this race?
