86th Boston Marathon - Monday, April 19, 1982
One of the most memorable duels in the history of Boston was waged on a
> sun-scorched afternoon in 1982. Wayland resident Alberto Salazar and
> Minnesota dairy farmer **** Beardsley fought one another over the
> nine-mile stretch from the Newton hills to the finish. Beardsley did the
> front-running with Salazar tucked in behind, during their record pace.
> With less than one mile remaining, Salazar moved to the front. A sprint
> finish ensued, and Salazar emerged victorious in 2:08:52, with Beardsley
> just two seconds back (2:08:54), marking the first time two runners had
> broken 2:09:00 in the same race. West German Charlotte Teske easily won
> the women's race with a comfortable 2:29:33, to finish nearly seven
> minutes ahead of Canada's Jacqueline Gareau.
