Found this post on the comment section of a major marathon.Quelle Horreur!!
6 hours isn't long enough to keep the course open?? How long SHOULD marathons keep their courses open? What is a FAIR point to say "This is no longer marathoning this is a group stroll?"
As Larry Rawson is wont to say "Go to your local HS track and see if you can walk around it once in 3 minutes and 30 seconds . That is about 6 hour pace"
No medal?? No refreshments?? No Brass band and No supermodel hugs waiting for you?? Quel Dommage!!
I honestly belive that back of the packers deserve to be in a marathon. My question is... just how far back is beyond the pale?
