Thanks, I am sunburned on just about every exposed part and am positive that I'll feel it tomorrow but I'm pretty happy with my time. Not a personal best but I didn't want to push things today. I was really glad to see how well this race was organized. People lining the streets spraying you down with their garden hoses and watering / sports drinks / med at every mile marker. Could have EASILY been like Chicago last year. It was HOT!

Oh my goodness! How tragic! Sounds like the heat and stress his body was under was too much for his poor heart. How sad
I'm glad to hear you came through fine Guido! Well done!

Back from the marathon and all went well. Pulled off a 2 hour time for the half. Not bad as it was close to 90 degrees today and the course (first time for me) is just loaded with killer hills.
Such killers, in fact, that someone died. Sadly, I saw him. Came in on a stretcher right behind me. It was seriously hot. 30,000 started and thousands dropped out.
