What did you do this past week end? Alex Zanardi, won the hand cycle division of the 2011 New York City Marathon in 1 hour, 13 minutes, 58 seconds. It was his fifth time in the NYC classic. Zanardi won by just 2 seconds over Poland's Rafael Will, powering back after after having his bike's chain come loose when he hit a curb entering the final 1/4 mile in Central Park!
He was P4 his first time around in 2007 despite never having competed in a long distance bike race.
Zanardi, at 45, has set his eyes on representing Italy in the 2012 Paralympic in London. Italy can use a hero.
Grande Alex!
