From Wisconsin:
For the second year in a row, the distance for the PNC Milwaukee Marathon has been wrong. Last year, the marathon course was measured too long... This year, the marathon course fell short.
Best of all, both years they used the same guys to measure the course. Third time's the charm!
The measurement mistake is a small thing, but it can mess up the life of those who are trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
Now for a bigger thing, from Italy:
"Italian Runner Wins Venice Marathon After All The Favorites Take A Wrong Turn"
The favorites - a bunch of Kenyans who were leading the race - took a wrong turn because they were following a guide motorcycle - who took a wrong turn. So this Eritrean-born Italian stays on course and wins.
If I had a suspicious mind, having watched too many Godfather movies, I might begin to wonder how that motorbike went astray.
Why did the Italian win?
Could it be the fix was in?
