Back from the USMC Marathon --

It was a great time! I functioned as a trouble-shooting car, basicly drove the course about a mile or so ahead of the participants and made sure everything was OK. An S4 was the next car back keeping just ahead of the first racer, who was in a wheelchair (there were a dozen or so wheelchair participants). Damn, those guys fly!!! Most impressive seeing all the runners/wheelchair racers finish a 26.2 mile race, some coherent, some needing help but crossing the finish line. I am in awe of them, I could not do it. Pictures perhaps tomorrow.

Looking forward to the pics. Here's the Washington Post article on the results.
