Sorry Jim. Still, go have a drink.

Sorry to hear that Jim!

According to the NBC commentators...they seem to feel that the heat isn't an issue since the humidity is so low. I say...run a mile in their shoes and then make that comment. Sheesh.

Keep pluggin' for that PR, Chris and Wendy. There will be more races. Dang it!!!

The heat on the ground in the last 10 miles with the buildings and asphalt makes it much warmer than the actual temp.

Congrats to Mosop and Shobukhova, pure domination!!

Pete looks to be in a world of hurt at the Half split.

Wow! That is crazy! Smart move to bail!

Kenny B. Sun Oct 09, 2011 11:09 am

I like how the broadcasters saying it is beautiful out not too warm yet!

Michele "1L" Keane Sun Oct 09, 2011 11:10 am

Sorry to hear this, Jim. Two words for you: Grand Rapids.

G$ still looking good as he is almost done, and the Millers are hanging in there.

I had a nice easy 10 miles this morning, but racing especially longer distance, the price will be paid. The announcer should know better.

They're so dumb! Yeah, it's beautiful for the spectators, who are all in shorts / t-shirts! If the people watching don't need long sleeves to just stand out there, it's way too hot to run.

Kenny B. Sun Oct 09, 2011 11:12 am

I am surprised Pete is still running. Wow!

I am sure they don't want to announce the severity of the situation as it is not good for Chicago Marathon. So they down play it quite a bit.

GregC 2:43:03 unofficial

Michele "1L" Keane Sun Oct 09, 2011 11:14 am

Greg is in at 2:43 - I know he won't like that, but given the day, it was a solid run.

Kenny B. Sun Oct 09, 2011 11:15 am

Strubbe's got to be just coasting to finish and call it a day. Surprised he did not duck out at some point.

Got to take it with that weather!

Kenny B. Sun Oct 09, 2011 11:17 am

Wendy has lost lots of asphalt 8:24 pace last 5k at 35k projecting 3:16. Heats got to be getting to them plus the sun is booming out there!

Jerry Sun Oct 09, 2011 11:17 am

Dave at 40k @7:54 pace. Hope he is just jogging in without too much hurt.

Wendy slow down to 8:24. Hope she can hang on for a PR.

I think he needed to finish for him - regardless. A mental thing.
