It was his first time running in the Boston Marathon, and Chuck Hughes '90 felt his competitive juices flowing.
"It was the feeling you get before you go into battle, whether it's the start of a hockey game or a meeting," Hughes said. "The anticipation is the greatest feeling I had of all."
Hughes, who works in the admissions office, was one of many runners with Harvard ties. Hughes started the race with senior Shira Springer, Dean of Admissions William Fitzsimmons and Steve Hermsdorf '95. Fitzsimmons' wife, Pat, also ran, as did Bob Clark, father of Daphne Clark '97.
"It was my first time, and, quite frankly, it might be my last," Hughes said. "The finish was a relief. I don't know if I was the conqueror or the conqueror, but I finished and that's really what it's about."
Hughes, who did not start marathon training until after January 1, finished in 3:58.
