Yes, they were properly trained. The 21 year old finished the half marathon in 1:58. The 40 year old would have finished in about 3:30and has also has done Ironman races. If you don't know what that is-- it's a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, then a marathon(in a great time). We arn't talking people who are overweight or out of shape. My condolences to the families.

any more details on these guys? What their level of training and was? I think stats should be put out there to show the general public that marathons can be dangerous if you're not properly trained.
