I will always think of this race as LPJason's, since he put together the largest gathering of barefoot runners in North America ever at last year's event.
It was my first race, and the one that motivated me to take up running in the first place.
When I heard the news on the radio that a father of three in his thirties died a mile from the finish line my ears perked up and when they said his name was Jason......well, you can imagine how long it seemed to take in my mind before they finished with a different last name.
Sad of course no matter who it was.
