Official 2021 Chicago Marathon live discussion thread

Ran 2:25 at CIM and trained like 8 weeks for this in windy/warm conditions. Sub-2:35 would be a solid result

Weldon is watching an elite only feed.

I'm sticking to NBC to see what it's like for the masses.

What's blowing me away is n o one is talking about the wind. Hello? I just lost it.

But the coverage overall is good. I just not longer expect them to show the elite races and expect a ton of commercials and a ton of wheelchair coverage. But the lack of wind talk is driving me nuts.

Haven't seen runners in 15 minutes at this point. Thx NBC
