steamed

i get a call from michael this morning with some news he heard on the radio about the lakeshore marathon. apparently, the crew had mismeasured and made it a mile longer than it should have been so people ended up running 27.2 miles instead of 26.2. ouch. seeing as how my time was a full two minutes slower than it was three weeks ago, i decided to check to on the half marathon distance as well. turns out, it was a half mile longer than it should have been. so in fact, i DID break 1:30 as i had wanted to (by roughly 4 seconds)...i just ran an extra half mile afterwards. now this should make me happy. it doesn't. becuase they screwed up, they've cost me my competitive start for the chicago marathon in fall. at least the weather was spectacular. check out how flat the water is in the background of these photos (sorry can't link directly to the image): use bib 2090 i've never seen lake michigan like that.
