Baltimore Marathon

The day was beautiful.

This place is crazy - a full marathon, a relay on the marathon route, a half marathon that ends at the same finish line, and a 10k nearby - all take place on the same day.

We ran well:
* Dave finished his 6 mile segment in under 50 minutes.
* I finished my 6.8 mi relay segment in 59 minutes at an 8:68 pace.
* Bob finished his 6.1 mile relay segment in about an hour.
* Michael finished his 7.3 mile relay segment in 59 minutes.
The Accenture Express set a new personal speed record!
(need to verify the results when they become available).

The food was pretty good. Apples, bananas, oranges, pretzels, chips, granola, bagels, peanut butter, juice, and other things. Lots of free samples.

For race timing Baltimore used the D-Tag Timing Responder. This is like a Champion Chip on a crash diet. It is a strip of paper with a disposable transponder in it. Completely disposable. Apparently a lot less expensive than Champion Chip.
