- dtparr 12y agoI'm pretty sure that's not the case. My reading was just that his escape was the inspiration for this particular physical feat. I wouldn't say it honors him any more than those escape from Alcatraz triathlons honor the escapees or marathons in general are political statements about Athens v. Persia.
- briandear 12y agoNo, it's similar to the concept around the Alcatraz triathlon.
- omegaham 12y agoNo, it's more of seeing James Earl Ray having a massively hard time in the mountains and saying, "That gives me an idea - there are people who will volunteer for this!"
