Medal of Honor Monday: Roger Donlon

At about this time in 1934, a future army captain and Medal of Honor recipient is born. He passed away several days ago, just five days shy of his 90th birthday.

Roger Donlon almost wasn’t in the Army at all. He’d originally signed up to be an Air Force pilot, but then ended up in the Army instead. The Air Force’s loss was the Army’s gain!

During the Vietnam War, Donlon found himself in command of a 12-man Special Forces unit at a post near Nam Dong. Several hundred South Vietnamese and anti-Communist Chinese were at this “outpost of freedom,” along with Donlan’s men, in early July 1964.

Everyone knew that something was coming.

Apparently, very few people in my age group want to do these events. I did the Individual Pursuit (2km) and the time trial (500m). Both were good events to gauge where I am after 6 months of track cycling and should allow for decent comparison from year to year.

My #finishersmedal for @lifetime.life @chicago.tri #chivirtualtri came in today's mail. Who knew today was #medalmonday? I did the #supersprint about two weeks ago (400 swim, 10k bike, 1.5 mile run) and won my age group, something that was definitely a surprise and which will go down as a highlight in this otherwise very strange year of racing (more like non-racing). Because it was so short I really focused on airing the segments out and got in under 47 minutes. I really did this just as practice for hopefully doing some live sprints next year. So I guess it was a good dry run! #runblr #bikeblr #swimblr #mastersrunner #triathleteinthemaking (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFH5oGMnMwg/?igshid=1e5rdga9o4thr

Ding, ding! 🛎 Happy #MedalMonday! 🏅🏃‍♂️🍻 Yes, I wore my medal to dinner last night! 🏅🍔🍻 Had a great time yesterday at the #phillymarathon! Awesome crowd support despite the weather. Great experience with my fellow pace group runners. No PR(missed by 2.5 minutes), but executed my plan the best I could and as much as the last 10k intimidates me, seems to be getting better. Won't dwell on the lack of pr, will continue to work and celebrate progress. Cheers! 💪🏃‍♂️🏅🍻 . . #phillymarathon #philadelphiamarathon #marathon #marathontraining #run #running #runner #runners #igrunners #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #runnersofig #runnerscommunity #runstreak #rwrunstreak #marathon #optoutside #willrunforbeer #irunonbeer https://www.instagram.com/p/B5TdMJWnlcm/?igshid=1eiclmuyc0vqx

My goal for last Saturday’s Olympic Tri was to improve my cycling time. Last year I did the Sprint distance of this race, and wasn’t feeling that prepared and hadn’t been sticking to my training as much. My average speed was about 13.5 mph. . This year, the cycling course was 8 miles longer, and my average speed was 16.5 mph. Plus, I felt faster and much less fatigued, and even passed a few people which never happens on the cycle leg. . I attribute my performance to sticking to my @tridotsystem training plan. This was my first official race since starting that plan, and I was super excited to see my progress. . . . #triathlon #triathlete #runner #swimmer #cycling #run #tridotambassador #training #cyclinglife #cyclinggirl #tri #olympictriathlon #fitness #cardio #medalmonday #trilife (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/yesthatmaria/p/ByQCznNJXzW/?igshid=e41dzbsg3if0
