About Dick Beardsly:
Dick Beardsley
Dick Beardsley is referred to as a “running legend” in the United States. Dick is best known for his incredible race in the 1982 Boston Marathon. That race, on a very hot day, was dubbed the “Duel in the Sun” as he battled world record holder Alberto Salazar down to the finish line. Both broke the American record: Salazar won in a record time of 2:08:51, Beardsley’s time was 2:08:53! He was at the height of his professional running career. (For more of Dick’s running achievements, see a partial list below, or go to: http://www.dickbeardsley.com).
Perhaps the most amazing thing about him is his climb back to health after becoming addicted to pain medication for more than eight years. Tragedy struck in November 1989: while using an auger to lift corn into a bin on his Minnesota farm, Dick became entangled in the machine and it began to literally tear him apart. Not expected to live or walk—much less ever run again—he managed to survive.
