| Favorite Quote: "A mediocre effort can win a race and a magnificent effort can loose one. Winning a race wouldn't necessarily demand that he give it everything he had from start to finish, he never ran any other way...he insisted on holding himself to a higher standard than victory, a race is a work of art. That's what he believed and he was out to make it one every step of the way, of course he wanted to win but HOW HE WON mattered to him more...The real purpose of running isn't to win a race, it's to test the limits of the human heart, and that he did. Nobody did it more often, nobody did it better." -- paraphrased from the memorial service of Steve Prefontaine on June 3, 1975 |
