Chicago Marathon recap

I tracked four (4) Rank Strangers on the course today and was able to photograph Paul Miller, Denise Meacham and Randy Meacham.   Peter Wagner also ran the rac.

Rank Stranger watch party - Sunday's Chicago Marathon

Rank Strangers and 1,000,000 others are invited to join a Chicago Marathon watch party.  I plan to use last year's plan (link below) which worked so well to link up with Rank Strangers Randy Meacham, Denise Meacham and Paul Miller.   Come to the spots shown on the job aid and I'll be there at times the runners I'm tracking suggest they'll pass my 3.5, 11.1 and 23.1 mile spots.

Running?  Let me know so I can look for you.

This year I'm looking for teammates Peter Wagner, Paul Miller and the Meachams.

2015 viewing plan from this blog, October, 2016 ->  Link   (My viewing recap:  Link )

Paul advises: I am in Corral-F, which is the first corral in Wave-2. Therefore, I should start within a minute or so of 8:00. I’ll probably be doing about a 9:05-9:10 pace this year. My bib is # 19435 so you can also track me online should I start to fall back or something.

Denise: I am also in Corral F this year with a starting time of 8:00am. I'm should be running at 9:10-9:20 pace. My bib is # 24750.   Tori, Jordan, Joey and Emma (new host daughter) will be volunteering at the 2nd aid station which I believe is at mile marker 3.2. Then they were planning to head towards mile 25ish. 

Randy: I'm in corral C and starting at 7:30.  I am shooting for 8 minute pace.

Peter: You have too much time on your hands.

Timetable for Sunday, Oct. 9.

Paul's Chicago Marathon fashion: Imerman Angel singlet with pink shirt, white visor, greenish shoes, blue compression socks.  He also advises the woman at right may run with him.  And what's better, she's a prospect for a future run relay.
