You know what's funny (other than the fact that doonst never smiles on camera)... the photos from out on the course make the field look way more congested than it was (IMHO), but the finishline pic doonst posted above makes it look like the stadium was empty, when in fact there were a few thousand spectators in there. :?: The spectator section actually got quite crowded around the 4hr mark of the marathon...

That's my game face dave. Running is serious business. Stop having fun.

And about the stands, it did fill up a lot from between when I finished and when you came in. :lol:

This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

I just ordered the one of me with my medal, and one of Dave and I with our medals. I'm sure my mom will love it! She's the picture queen.

The racecourse actually crosses the bridge and you run several miles through Windsor, so it'd be a true homecoming for you.

I got that on the first link, Angela. But on all the ones after that I could see them. Hopefully someone on here has a solution for you.
