At 4:30 AM, runners began
lining up for the 6:10 AM
start. Among the 12,000
racers, there were 60 or so
who would start at 6:05 AM.
They were in wheelchairs and
on handcycles. The Freedom
Team, a group of Iraq
veterans, is part of the
Achilles Track Club, an
inspirational group of
competitors who led the
charge, in the pouring rain.
They finished in the sunshine,
a showed me, and a lot of
other people, what 'overcoming
obstacles' really means. This
video is dedicated to a couple
of the competitors I met -
Scott Rimmer, Scott Rigsby and
Todd Philpott. Video and music
