That is my non-official timing for the Chicago Marathon! Did you notice the asterisk?
Jen has done a better job linking stories about the incredible debacle that was the marathon. The farther out from the circumstances the more irritated I get, so I'm going to take a couple days to "cool down" and will post my comments about the run through Hell on October 7, 2007.
Oh yeah. The asterisk. This was my non-official finish time for the Chicago Marathon. Not to shabby for a first timer. Wait - that is the official time they forced me to stop running the marathon. And by "me" I mean roughly 3/4 of those people that trained all Summer and were forced to stop running because the race officials didn't have a good contingency plan in place for the incredible heat.
It is just too bad.

Brian - Congrats on your "finish". I was also at the marathon and finished at 5:28:40, a whole two hours later than I had anticipated.
Also, like you I ran for a cause and was able to raise over $4500 for the Arthritis Foundation. Because of that and all the support that I received from my donors, I still consider the 2007 Chicago Marathon a positive experience!
Anyways, I saw you had created some shirts on cafepress and thought I'd share my designs with you:
