“I’m just so blessed, I ran in college and never had a race with this much support. Every single time I felt like I was about to die, I went by a crowd and they’re all screaming for me,” Dowd said. After a standout prep running career in Austin at St. Stephen’s Episcopal School, Dowd was a key member of Rice’s track and cross-country teams. He said he drew upon his experience training in the Houston heat during his marathon debut Sunday.“I know the weather wasn’t ideal for a marathon, but I loved it. I came from Houston, nice and humid and hot. I felt good right away and felt like I was walking the first 10 miles,” Dowd said.
