Brad Weiss had what he described as the time of his life on a recent trip to Israel to compete in the 18th Maccabiah Games. He was part of a team representing the U.S. in the Half Marathon Championship, held in stifling heat and finishing in the beach town of Netanya. Brad finished with a 5:20 mile to take fourth place, behind only three professional runners, and as the first non-Israeli athlete overall as part of a larger road race.
The Jerusalem Post has a wrap-up with a nice mention of Brad; below is a picture of Weiss, center, in fine midrace form.
