Just saw this on CBS Sunday morning and it was a pretty impressive feat at his age.

ETA:

Were these boats also made by Higgins?

Well, that makes me feel like a lazy bum by comparison.

Amazing for a 93 year-old man to still be able to do that. Reminds me of Louie Zamperini.

Friend ran with him in Krotz springs or Opelousas I think. Then she drove to the finish point and was in the group that crossed the finish with him. Pretty cool.

Probably so but not many of us can take 3 years off to go run either.

I swear I'm not making this up:

Now that he's finished his run, he plans on driving his RV to Alaska to visit his step-daughter. He says he's always wanted to travel the Alaska Highway (built during WWII).
