		His performance in that marathon, placing in the exact middle of the 40 runners in his age group with a time of four hours and one minute, on the nose, inspired him to aim a little higher.

	MEDICAL BIOLOGY: ON DISEASE IN MARATHON RUNNERS
		DeMar was also a subject in studies performed by the noted Boston cardiologist Paul Dudley White, who had a lifelong interest in the marathon and had studied the heart rate of Boston participants in the 1915 and 1916 races.
		A report in 1961 [2] presented results from both White's earlier studies of DeMar and the autopsy, which showed that the diameter of DeMar's coronary arteries was approximately two to three times that in normal adults.
		White, a great advocate of exercise who often rode his bicycle to work, was a big fan of the marathon and, ironically, first recognized his own heart disease because of angina that developed as he jogged over to the race venue to watch David McKenzie of New Zealand win the 1967 race.

		The runners at this course are experienced and fast and despite it being cold as heck at the start (a chilly 37 degrees), lucky for me, it felt just like training: running on the side of a major road with cars going by, few to no spectators and no porta-potties.

		-- Durable as he was, Clarence DeMar was neither the oldest U.S. Olympian (at 40 in 1928) nor the first three-time finisher.
		Joseph Forshaw ran in 1904-06-08 and, like DeMar, was once a bronze medalist.
		-- DeMar's medal in 1924 was the last for the U.S. until Frank Shorter's almost a half-century later.
