L.A. Marathon (cont'd.)


After the top runners came by I saw these two guys who were participating in the handcrank division. That group starts out earlier in the morning and nearly all of them had made their way past this part of the route quite a bit earlier.

But the guy on the right in this picture was really struggling. It seemed like maybe he was having some doubts about his ability to go on. We could tell this by the encouragement the other guy was giving him as they were going.

His partner kept telling him to keep going, one stroke at a time, keep moving forward and other things to motivate him to continue. It seemed that without the encouragement and inspiration the guy would have no chance to finish the course.

Hopefully, he did.
