Marathon fall being investigated

Scroll down to read my previous posts on the Chicago Marathon and the finish line fall of the race's winner, Kenya's Robert Cheruiyot.

Chicago Marathon Race Director Carey Pinkowski doensn't believe that the race decal on the pavement contributed to Cheruiyot's fall, as this Chicago Tribune (free reg. required) reports.

Another marathon official notes that other races use such decals, and the Chicago Marathon has utilized them the last five years without incident. However, I ran those five marathons, and it didn't rain those years, as it did on Sunday.

I'll continue to keep an eye on this story.
