Starting line this morning (looking forward and backwards): Got to start with the elites this morning as part of the Bank of America Media Challenge, which was a pretty incredible way to run the Shamrock Shuffle for the first time! But it also meant that even though I ran a PR (37:34) I literally did not pass one person the entire time... which was equal parts humbling and inspiring. I did, though, get passed by a joggler , a leprechaun and a guy in a green man suit. In the VIP tent afterwards I got to see Abdelaaziz Atmani and Julia Lucas announced as the male and female winners of the race: And unfortunately, my media team didn't end up winning the media challenge (as tweeted earlier by a fellow media member): Well-played Nina and Team Lead Stories, but we shall meet again. Meanwhile, check out my race review for NewCity! Also here's my favorite picture from right after the finish line - a giant wall of bananas:
Some stuff about Chicago.
