The Chicago Marathon was run in 80 degree heat. That is way too hot for a marathon. One guy passed out on mile 18 and died on the course. Hundreds of other runners suffered heat related illnesses. After 3 hours, race organizers shortened the race, cutting off people at mile 21 and encouraging everybody else to quit.
I hope the temperature is no higher than 50 degrees when Reissberg hits the road for the NYC Marathon on November 4.
