Much like Chicago did back in 2007 during that marathon. Such a shame for the athletes that trained so hard to represent our country.","date_added":"Feb 17th 2016, 3:48pm","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":11845,"item_type":"blogs","pb_image":"i\/no_avatar.png","pb_title":"Tom23flight","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=106517","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/Tom23flight.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"1896072"},"1514318":{"pb_id":"106511","pb_type":"members","likes":"0","parent_id":"0","pid":"1514318","comment_id":"1514318","member_id":"106511","comment":"So embarrassing and below expectations! I wonder if they just didn&#039;t realize the opportunity to shine and the importance of this race!? I watched on tv and was also confused about the finish line. I&#039;m so sorry about your experience.

We were mortified how long it took for help to arrive. Police were there, standing around, but without any medical equipment or the ability to get him to a safer place. I was about to call 911, thinking that would get someone there faster. Finally, a cart came and picked him up, but signficiant time had passed. How did they not have a better plan in place for a runner collapsing?","date_added":"Feb 17th 2016, 3:24am","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":11845,"item_type":"blogs","pb_image":"i\/no_avatar.png","pb_title":"Hmora","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=106491","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/Hmora.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"1896054"},"1514213":{"pb_id":"13022","pb_type":"members","likes":"1","parent_id":"0","pid":"1514213","comment_id":"1514213","member_id":"13022","comment":"That was quite an eye-opener and, my God, I&#039;m speechless regarding the lack of caring demonstrated by our USATF.
