I’d; like to be the first one to blog that Eric Norlin seems to have finished the Chicago Marathon in 4:43:33—though I may be reading the results page incorrectly, because it looks as though Alie Norlin finished with exactly the same time, and although I’m last in line to dispute extreme spousal togetherness, this seems somewhat improbable. Alie was ahead of Eric by eight minutes at the 30K mark (Eric seems not to show up at the 15K and halfway points). The “chip time” for Alie shows her at a faster 4:35:37.
Here are some other dimensions of the conundrum. In this summer’s “2002 KBCO Kinetic” 5K race, Alie finished in 27:49, where Eric finished in 30:21. In the “14th Runnin' of the Green Lucky 7K,” Alie finished in 39:12, and Eric in 44:45.
Margaret has decided that Alie twisted her ankle, and Eric caught up and they hobbled to the end together. Or she waited for him so they could cross the line together. Hmmm.
