Anyone do Marine Corp Marathon yesterday!?
It was my first race and I had a blast! Definitely a great course and was thankful the weather didn’t seem to get too bad until later in the day! The first 5 miles were a bit brutal with the uphill and the crowds but after that everyone seemed to thin out and it was super pleasant (barring the last 0.2 mile straight uphill).
This was a fascinating look at what people did at the finish line of the MCM. A bit of a r/running x r/dataisbeautiful crossover article.
What happens when runners cross a marathon finish line? We’ve got data | They hugged and kissed and made heart hands. They high-fived, fist-bumped and flexed. A few fell. Some live-streamed
Such a cool perspective, looking at humanity with so many of their barriers broken and in a moment of triumph!
