I’m not a big competitive sports fan, and I was certainly never good at them. So when others on the Gay Games committee asked what event I was participating in, I simply laughed! But they were persistent, and with help from a trainer I worked my way up from being barely able to go a mile to running my first full marathon for the Games. After hearing participants saying our event eclipsed previous hosts’ like NYC, San Francisco and Sydney, it was no doubt an incredible finish to an amazing week.
