kapkomet Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Chicago Marathon was a mile too long LMAO. How do you screw this up? And what about those people who didn't qualify for Boston because they screwed up? I'd be pissed. Chicago a lot of people use to qualify for Boston because it's flat.

It is the 40 extra pounds that is the problem... well that and getting off of Soxtalk for 3 hours to run a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is the qualifier for Boston. This is the Lakeshore Marathon on Memorial Day. The qualifier is the LaSalle Bank Marathon, usuallly run in October.

maggsmaggs Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I actually did run the marathon and finished at 4:06 with the 27.2 mile course, but for 26.2 I would easily be under 4:00, my goal time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
