  • They had enough water, but people kept pouring water over their heads instead of drinking it or letting others drink it.

  • Yes. The temperature was much higher then usual. Many runners were attended by the ambulances, and I think there was at least one fatal case.

  • why was the maraton stopped? Was it too hot?

  • Think most of the 'runners' having problems were poorly trained to begin with & had no business entering the race. Properly trained marathon marathon runners know how to deal with hot weather & run accordingly..

  • hey stopping it in between is way better than getting injuries and losing lives! aahh that water looks relaxing!

  • Don't worry, Carey; you may have fucked up with the water situation but you are a great race director and I know you've learned from this. I'll see you in 2008!

  • Smart move, you may have saved lives!
