Lemons Into Lemonade
“The marathon can humble you,” is one of Bill Rodger’s most quoted lines. Despite winning four Boston Marathons, he had races that did not go to plan. In 1977, on a hot day, he dropped out on top of Heartbreak Hill. Not one to sulk, he went directly to the bar at the Eliot Lounge, where bartender Tommy Leonard offered him a cold beer and a rugby shirt to pull over his sweat-soaked singlet. Inspired by that moment, and captured in the 1977 documentary, Distance Running, our rugby is designed for donning after workouts both good and bad. Bill went on to win the Boston Marathon the following year, in cooler weather.
