Good stuff. I was thinking today as I was on a hike, how the History of the sport is gradually being lost. This sort of post reminds us all the origins of the race in Kona and the importance of it's heritage.

BTW, same is true of Ultrarunning and how few remember it's beginnings, almost simultaneously with IM.


The nice part is that we have the internet now, so stories like Monty's aren't just in some ring binder gathering dust in an attic, and books on IM's early years (ex. Iron Will) are out of print but ebook-able.

For those who missed Julie's epic finish from that race, here's the youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbWsQMabczM
