  Alberto Salazar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alberto Salazar (born August 7, 1958) is an American marathon runner of the 1980s.
Salazar won the race in an exciting sprint finish and collapsed at the end before being taken to an emergency room and given 6 liters of water intraveneously because he had not drunk during the race.
Salazar's competitive decline is often attributed to a reported blow-out after the 1982 Boston Marathon (his famous "Duel in the Sun" with Dick Beardsley), after which his athletic performance gradually declined to the point at which he could barely jog.

Salazar's face was impassive, but inwardly his stomach was churning; his legs felt so weak, he wondered if they would respond once the gun sounded.
Salazar knew that these early miles were part of a stalking game, the faster runners trying to conserve energy as much as possible, watching those around them, looking for weaknesses that they might later exploit.
