Rod Dixon 1983 New York victory

While watching Meb Keflezighi's inspiring victory last weekend at the New York Marathon, I was reminded of this segment we shot with Rod Dixon earlier this year. In it, he recounts his own thrilling New York victory in 1983. Rod came from behind in the last quarter mile to win the closest race in New York history. I've watched this clip many times, and it never gets old. Try watching this and not getting inspired. I dare you!
