Chicago Marathon Live Tv coverage and maniac tracking

Postby Jwolf » Sun Oct 11, 2009 8:41 am

I found a great live feed here:
http://www.freeetv.com/modules.php?name ... h&id=2016#

The elite race is just over about half over-- Wanjiru leading; leaders came through half-way at almost exactly 1:02. Just what he wanted! (it actually started at 7:30, not 8:00 as I thought.)

Apparently the conditions are perfect-- very exciting.....

Universal wouldn't work for me for some reason... it's always kind of touchy.

Any word on our Maniacs? Is there a place to check their progress?

Apparently the leaders are off WR pace.

For runner tracking, you need to have registered for it beforehand, I think. I didn't do that for any of the maniacs.

You can track all our runners using name or bib on the Chicago site. Here's the link: Searchable Results.

PS Universal is working just great for me. And the coverage of both the men and women is somewhat balanced.

PPS I think Ian might set a pb.

It's the same TV feed.

For some reason the Universal site doesn't always work for me though.
