Lessons Learned from the 2007 LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon

October 15, 2007 by Jimson Lee

By now, every long distance running web site has these results as old news last week. You can read a full recap of both races here.

The video of the close finish of the Men’s can be found here, and the women’s here.

So what are the 2 lessons from these races?

Simply put, never give up and never showboat until the race is over.

I’m not a big fan when athletes celebrate or wave to the crowd before the finish line.

Afterwards, sure, a victory lap and carrying your national flag is fine, but please don’t wear it as a turban, or, even worse, let the flag touch the ground!
