tracking chicago

OMG Stephen!! Now I feel just awful for giving up on you. When I saw that it was about 1.5 hours since the last 5k, I thought that you certainly wouldn't be in condition to continue through another 15-20k. Wow. Well, you certainly deserve to celebrate your finish! Wow!

The weather can be a funning thing. The high in northestern Pennsylvania yesterday was 80 degrees on October 9th. Unheard of...

Thanks to all for tracking us!

I want to mention that Steve (fostever) also ran a 3:14 yesterday...he was going for a 3:10, but let me tell you a 3:14 is an excellent accomplishment in those conditions!

I had my first ever major blow up, and somehow salvaged a finish. I also ended up in the medical tent...an experience I don't want to repeat. I thought of my 365 friends at every timing mat, even when I knew my goal/any chance of a PR was totally gone. Thanks for your support!

Congrats to you all! When I arrived in Cleveland at 4 PM, it was several degrees warmer and sunnier than Atlanta - go figure! Glad everyone is ok despite some med tent adventures (been there, done that). My training friend finished in 4:14 - disappointed, but in one piece. She slowed down around half to salvage the race and in spite of being used to the heat, she said it was pretty brutal.

Congrats again to you all! John P - I'll see you in Grand Rapids.

It didn't look like a blow-up in the results - I thought you ran an awesome race! Bummer about the med tent, but you ended up 102 out of 3686 age groupers. Top 3%. That is just nuts! Hopefully you feel better today and congrats on a GREAT RUN!!!

Yes, that is also a crazy good time for Steve, who was 67th out of 1,666 in his age group. Top 4%. Totally awesome!

Thanks, John...but my goal was 3:10 and my only other marathon I ran in 3:18...so it was a big, big blow up. Steve did awesome!

Thanks for tracking us everyone, I'm sure it was much appreciated by everyone.

Sorry for the tough conditions, all. I know it's tough to rationalize results you did not want.

Hi everyone, thanks for tracking. I enjoyed reading through all the posts. It brings back the excitement of the race. Sorry some had such a tough time and happy for those that excelled.

It was fun doing some tracking of you guys and gals!

I agree it was fun and helped it seem more like we were there cheering for you all. Sorry it was so hot and a tough day but great work everyone!
