Dallas White Rock Marathon Pics

2003 Dallas White Rock Marathon Pics

Race day arrived, trying to get the weather in my hotel room before the race, all I could get was news of Saddam Hussein's capture. The weather didn't matter after that.

It was about a mile walk from the Hyatt Regency to the American Airlines Center where the Start and Finish lines were. At the 8:00 AM start it was about 30 degrees and just a little breezy. Before the race was complete it would warm to the low 50's. It turned out to be a sunny day.

It was 8:00 AM, and while the Star Spangled Banner was being sung, there were fireworks. After the song, 3 fighter jets flew over the start in formation.

It was Awesome, We were Pumped !

Left: Ed Knouse center. It was a long run around the lake, and starting around the lake, I could see runners on the far side, probably Kenyan's. It was a good 10 to 12 miles around the lake.
