Well, I'm done. I completed my 16th consecutive Chicago Marathon. (I've run a total of twenty-seven 26.2 milers).This year, I was part of a pace team sponsored by New Balance.
My three-man team (Gary, Iain and myself) were assigned a goal to run a 3:30 marathon. More importantly, our goal was to help other runners run a 3:30 marathon.
The three of us finished together, running an official "chip time" of 3 hours and 30 minutes and 10 seconds. And we had a nice pack of runners with us running their 3:30 marathons.
26.2 miles, and we were just 10 seconds off pace.
A 3:30 marathon translates into an average of 8 minutes per mile.
Oh, that sign? The three of us each carried one the entire race.
That's me at about two minutes before the start. The photoblogging is over. Results? Interesting. The majority of the photos were taken while I was running--stated more directly, during the race, I didn't stop to take a pictures.
Considering that, and considering the pics were sent and published in real time during the Chicago Marathon, I think the results were pretty good.
Here, once again, is Mobile Marathon Pundit and the results of my live photoblogging.
Know people who ran the Chicago Marathon? Look for their results here.
Finally, Robb Kestner of Running at the Mouth sent me a "Good Luck" e-mail to me Friday. He's running the Columbus Marathon next Sunday. Good luck to you, Robb!
