Why didn't they just let the professional woman have a head start? Letting all of the elites go out early is just stupid.

Is it just me or has Chicago officially become the worst organized major marathon in the world? Witness the slippery finish line debacle, the mismanagement of the high heat last year, and now this. I think some heads need to roll in the Chicago marathon admin.

I'm guessing that the 5 minute head start was so the women could run a reasonably separate race.

I know NYC marathon says that prize money for the women is only available to those in the elite women's start. I would guess that Chicago had a similar setup, but I am far from certain.
