Damian ran the whole marathon, not just the half as originally planned. And he did it without Don, as he was injured at the last minute. Weight-lifting incident.
I decided last minute to go watch him finish. Saturday , October 5, 2024. I tracked him on the app. I even helped another person track THEIR runner while waiting since she didn't have cell service.
And then I missed him! I thought I saw him, but it wasn't him... And then I didn't understand the app...it said he'd finished. But how? It wasn't time.
He sprinted the last few blocks, passing about 100 people ( including one cardiac arrest victim!)! When it looked like he was close on the app, I approached the fence, I watched on tippy- toes, I didn't see him. Then my phone's camera kept turning off during the wait, so I did a practice video.
AND HE SWOOSHED BY SO FAST I DIDN'T EVEN SEE HIM!
But my camera caught him. So glad I checked it before deleting the "practice" video. Go, Damian!
I have the video, buts its too long to put on my blog. Tell me how to edit it and I'll put in a clip of just him so you can see how FAST he was. It totally messed with the Marathon app algorithm. Ha!
