Terry the Fox: Retraced
Terry ran his last 17 Marathons of Hope from Sault St Marie to Thunder Bay around this time of year. It must have been brutal, as it has been for me. Unrelenting hills, headwinds & heat.
And I have a bike and two legs! I already had lactic buildup from the steep climbs by late morning, and the town of Marathon was closed for breakfast & lunch.
When Terry was here in White River in 1980, there were no Summer Olympics for Canada as they refused to attend in Moscow because of the invasion of Afghanistan.
