Chicago Marathon

Our Chicago Marathon heroes, Jennifer and Lou Katz, finished the 26.2 mile tour on Sunday. Temperature at start time was about 60 and rose to 80 by mid-day. Jennifer finished in 3:53:13, good for 1594/15,997 females (top 10%) and 183/1548 in her age group.
Lou completed the course in 4:26:24, 9754/19,777 men and 309/865 in his age group. Congratulation to both.
The overall winner was Sammy Wanjiru of Kenya in 2:06:24 and the top female runner was Liliya Shobukhova of Russia in 2:20:25. Joan Benoit Samuelson, Olympic champion in 1984, qualified for another USA Olympic trial with a 2:47.
