This isn't a race report. Expect one tomorrow. I need to do this whole weekend justice because its been quite a trip and isn't over yet. I'm not even back in Kentucky yet, so I'll go into those details when I get back!
I didn't go under three. I didn't BQ. But I did PR. And what a race to PR at, this is a race which will be remember by runners for years to come! "Do you remember the year Chicago was canceled?" It was a real tragedy, but I'm sure you have all heard the details elsewhere.
The details some people might like to here are that I finished in 3:21:22. My unofficial place was 721 out of 44,000 starters.
Thanks to everyone who was cheering me on from the sidelines, and great job to everybody who ran today! I really look forward to reading your race reports!

About Doug
- Tri+Umph
- I used to be a runner, until fall 2007 when injury kept me from running. Biking and swimming took the place of running, and I absolutely loved the variety it brought to my training. It stuck. Now I dare call myself a triathlete, not a runner. But I still go at it in the only way I know how: with a little bit of umph!
Marathon Finish!

Congratulations! That time is amazing! I'm looking forward to hearing about the weekend. Have a safe trip home. (o:
Great job, I cannot imagine how brutal this was. I was watching on line and worrying about everyone as the heat went up. I'm so glad you made it and a PR to boot. CONGRATS!!
Way to go... that is fantastic.
I am still a tad bitter after my super-expensive 18 mile training run.
Congratulations Doug on a great time in that weather! I hope the hip/back held up for you too!
Great job! Glad to hear you survived it - looking forward to hearing the details.
That is excellent Doug! Good for you!
Great job Doug, it was a brutal day for all.
