"Sri Chinmoy 70 Mile." Ultrarunning. January 1983.
Congers, New York, November 7, 1983.
Ken Littlefield who normally prefers triathlons to ultras, took first place in the second Sri Chinmoy 70-Mile Run held at Rockland Lake State Park. Littlefield, who was 58th at the 1981 version of the Iron Man Triathlon, said: "I usually go out too fast and burn out. This time I paced myself better."
Running together for most of the race, Richard Hogan and Michael Sekulsky paced each other to PR's for almost every split on their way to second place.
