Chicago, Part IV
I didn’t have a chance to post yesterday. I’ll keep this one short and to the point. Today was the marathon. I completed the marathon in 4:39:35. I’m really happy with my time. That’s my second fastest marathon - only 9 minutes behind my NYC marathon time from 2 years ago. I was in better shape for that one too.
Here are some neat things about the marathon - there were 40,000 runners. Which means that it took me 15 minutes to get to the start line. I wasn’t able to carry my camera with me through the marathon, I had too much other stuff to carry.
My knee held up pretty well. I started having some problems with it around mile 23, but it held up the rest of the way decently until I crossed the finish line. All in all, I’m very pleased.
Don’t expect a posting tomorrow - travel day tomorrow.
