Liliya Shobukhova of Russia won the women's race for the third year in a row, her time was 2:18:20. In the men's contest, Kenya's Moses Mosop set a new course record with a finishing time of 2:05:37.
It was a bit warm today, 70 degrees, when the bulk of the runners was crossing the finish line. The ideal temperature for marathon running is 50 degrees.
Tragically, a runner died. William Caviness, 35, collapsed 500 yards before the finish on the Roosevelt Road bridge. I saw five runners collapse on that bridge--which to runners is a hill.
Next: Video of the start of the wheelchair race.
