Comments:

The race was very hot. It was canceled when I was at mile 23, with the cops telling everyone to walk. I was concerned for my wife so I stopped and tried to find her. She was made to go a slight short cut at about mile 19 so I never found her. After looking for an hour I headed toward the finish. By then my legs were extremely tight and I couldn't walk very well.

The chicago people are amazing. They were out there with their hoses and jugs of water trying to cool people off. <3 chi-town
