Race Report: 2009 Richmond Marathon

Dean King (l) and Allen Strickland (r) lined up for the Richmond Marathon.

Cornelius-based Allen Strickland recently ran in the SunTrust Richmond Marathon and posted a terrific two-part account on his blog, "Allen's Road to Boston", where he recounts his attempt to qualify for the Boston Marathon.  Running with Allen was newest DART member Dean King, who PR'd with a 3:29.

Part I can be found here, and part II is here.  Way to go, guys!
