PURE FRUSTRATION!

So the results from the Salt Lake Marathon are in and mine are NOT posted. Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! Yup, that's right folks I ran 26.2 miles and the stupid little chip attached to my shoe didn't even track me (well at least that is what I am assuming). I don't understand it when I ran through the start line I heard it beep, when I ran through the two tracking stations along the route I heard it beep and when I ran across the finish line I heard it beep. So WHERE ARE MY RESULTS? I've e-mailed the Salt Lake Marathon people and the marathon tracking people for the last two days and no answers. Tomorrow I am going to make some phone calls using my not so nice voice. I want to know what has happened.

I've posted some not so flattering pictures of me along the marathon route as proof that I really did run it. Grrrrrrr!!!!
This is a picture of all the runners ready to start the race. The marathon runners and the half marathon runners started at the same place. There were tons of people. I don't think I started the race until 7 minutes after the official start time.


While running the marathon a saw a couple of heavy people who were braving the marathon and the thought that came to my head was good for them for taking on such a challenge. Well when I saw the pictures that were taking of me running the marathon I couldn't help but wonder how many people looked at me along the way and said good for her for taking on such a challenge. Bah Ha Ha!

Yes folks that is me crossing the finish line! Here is my proof!

Can we really trust technology these days? Sorry about the lost tracking. I hope they find your results somewhere...you deserve to know.
