Re: Chicago Marathon
It is true they ran out of water, despite what the marathon director is claiming. There were only water stations every 2 miles so by the time you got there, you had to take several cups just to stay alive.
People were running into their homes to get cups and extra water for people.
Also at several aid stations they had no water until the last table and they made you grab a cup and wait in line for water.
Most people didn't exactly train to spend 10-15 minutes at water stations through-out the race. Obviously the faster you are, the less this was a problem because it was less crowded.
We were unseeded (aka slow) and when they stopped us there were people around us from corrals C and D (3:20 marathoners).
4 months of training, $110 dollars, and they ran out of something which is virtually FREE in our country.
