And being a Minnesota boy, I was so excited. What do you reme- what do you remember thinking about leading up to Grandma's?ĭICK BEARDSLEY: Well, I remember going into that race, it was my very first Grandma's Marathon. But I understand- because I read your autobiography- you galloped off one last run before the 1981 Grandma's Marathon race, 20 miles in an hour and 41 minutes.Īnd your coach at that time was angry, thinking you blew it. Say, I admittedly don't know a ton about running, but I always thought a marathoner needed to taper, running less, recovering more before a race. I'm glad you guys are having a good time out there on the lake. But yeah, we got a few walleyes in the live weld and catching a bunch of northern pike and having a heck of a good time.ĬATHY WURZER: Good. In fact, one of my guide clients, Mark Nisley, from Pine City, Minnesota, just had a fish on that the hook popped out. How are the fish biting?ĭICK BEARDSLEY: Well, not too bad. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever done an interview with anyone live from his fishing boat, which happens to be in Bemidji.
He's also a best-selling author, motivational speaker, and fishing coach in Minnesota. He's known across the state for winning the 1981 and '82 Grandma's Marathons. Ahead of the big race, we thought we'd talk to one of the marathon's most well-known champions, Dick Beardsley. All rights reserved.CATHY WURZER: Grandma's Marathon is this weekend in Duluth.
