Who Inspired This Beer?
Cedric King is a decorated war veteran who lost his legs after stepping on an I.E.D. in Afghanistan in 2012. He went from being depressed to not only walking, but running to date 20 marathons and completing two Half Ironman Triathlons. He has a book called the Making Point which details his early life and incident which put him on a whole new trajectory.
This is the story of the 2022 Chicago Marathon in which I was his support guide:
We had been training to qualify for the Boston Marathon, which meant we had to finish the Chicago Marathon in 5:40.
We had been training for 6 months, sharing workouts, paces, etc. I never asked him what his previous finish times were. At mile 25, after a long, arduous battle, we were pacing for six hours, and clearly we were not on track to make the 5:40 cut.
He says, "Man, I've never run a marathon faster than 7:15."
I exclaimed, "What??” and ask, “Why the hell were we training for 5:40?"
He replied, "Because that's what it would take to qualify for Boston."
We finished at 6:15.
He pushed beyond what was possible and brought out the Savage to get a PR (personal record) by one full hour.
