Your article sure got the memory wheels spinning. I imagine all your readers will, as I have been doing, see how many memories they can conjure of their first marathon. My first was also the first Dutchess County Marathon back in 1979. I still have the threadbare t-shirt. It was a three loop course out of Feedom Park in LaGrange. Your debut time was a bit faster than my 2:55:45.
I ran the Jersey Shore Marathon in 1978, 1979, 1980, and 1981. The only reason that I stopped was because during those years, it was in the beginning of December, but in 1982, they moved it to November, which conflicted with my running of the Bob Rother 25k Arlington Turkey Trot so soon after. So, in 1982, I started running the Atlantic City Marathon, which was in the beginning of December, and thereby, avoiding the conflict.

Neat, indeed. Nice one, Pete.
