Kansas City (MO) Marathon 2016

Posted on October 16, 2016July 22, 2019
Marathon #98, and #34 for the year at the Kansas City Marathon. Anticipating this as the toughest of the triple double (hilly and humid), my goal time was 4:20, actual 4:20:49. Big thanks to the hospitality of Dan and Paula for putting Amy and I up, feeding us, and generally playing Mom and Dad, and Melissa Wood for the rideshare. Lots of friends on the course I forgot to snap a photo of (JM Gabriel, and Bill Beardall come to mind) Fun fact: Mickey Mouse was actually created, not by Walt Disney, but by his friend and sometime partner, Kansas City native Ub Iwerks.

And lo Jesus said to his disciples “Go and build a big church on the nice side of town where you can reach the alien, the fatherless, and the widow…”
Bonus Fun Fact: Kansas City is known as the Fountain City, and is said to have more fountains than Rome.
It’s one of my two favorite Rhode Islanders, Tekleng Ung.

The Battle of Westport, fought in October of 1864, is often referred to as the “Gettysburg of the West” not only because it was one of the largest engagements ever to take place west of the Mississippi, but also because it effectively marked the end of any hope for a Confederate victory in the western theater.
