Insane. I heard that the heat was a problem (I think one woman died?)

Beast ran Portland instead - he was good through half (1:10:27) then got some bad stomach cramps and finished in 2:31 or so.

Yeah, Chicago was a bad call, I guess. It wasn't a woman who died but a man. High 80's, everyone suffered.

i think the man died from a heart attack unrelated to the heat...

Interesting. I just read about that. But you don't think that the hotter conditions could have elevated the stress on his body raising his heart rate overall?

Overall the heat was bad. Letsrun posters say they all pretty much ran 15+ minutes off target pace.
