We have three GA BTer's running Chicago today!  If you are sitting around sipping coffee or a recovery drink here is the link and their info so you can check on them:

The Moorman's are running their first marathon and will need all the good thoughts as they run the last 10k.  Ron is trying to qualify for Boston.  Ron needs a time of 3:15:59 or better.  Hopefully they will all be successful!

Aimster is racing too, and I think trying to BQ also- sorry I am no good with the links

I've been checking out the split times of several GA athletes I know, four of them are active BT'ers.
Through 13.1, Ron is on target for his BQ but is a little behind the 3:10 mark which is the qualifying time for the young bucks. He gets an extra five minutes because of his "advanced" age. Splits are going in his favor and a BQ would be his dream.
Aimster needs a 3:40 to qualify and through the 15K is running a bit behind pace. Negative splitting a marathon is tough but let's send some fast leg vibes so she can get her BQ time.
Courtney and Kraig weren't searching for BQ times today but both are clocking regular splits. According to athlete tracker, Courtney is through the 10k and on pace for a 5 hour race. Kraig is through 15k and on a sub 4 pace.
Way to go GA BTers!

There are a couple of other GA BTers I found - Brian Madden and Ron Redding.
Through 30k, Ron's (atl_runner) pace has fallen a little bit but he is still under 3:16 predicted finish so that would get him to Boston.
It's looking like Amy isn't having the race she wanted she is falling off the BQ pace quite a bit.
Kraig is still posting some strong splits and looks like he'll break 4 hours if he can keep it up.
Courtney had to wait 20 minutes to cross the starting mat so she had quite a wait at the beginning. She's not quite through half way and projected finish time is still under 5 hours.

With 2k (1.2 miles) to go, it looks like Ron won't be able to get his BQ if the splits on the Athlete Tracker are correct. Regardless of the missed goal, his race looks impressive by the splits. Way to go, Ron!
Kraig passed Amy out on the course and is still keeping his pace for a sub 4. Amy must have a tough day out there but she is sticking with it! Way to go runners.
Courtney is still keeping her pace as well and is well on her way to being a marathon finisher!

Dang it..That was definitely his chip, not gun, time? I was really pulling for that BQ. Anyway you cut it, it was still an awesome run.

Way to go, everyone participating..Kraig, rocking first mary!

Way to go everyone!  Great race!  I'm sorry about the non-BQ but the conditions sounded pretty challenging, especially with the 8am start. 

This is the real Steph, not Doug.
