| That was pretty cool. Risky and stupid, yeah, but pretty cool. Also, who the hell was in charge and did they know a pregnant lady was running? |
Shocked said: Also, who the hell was in charge and did they know a pregnant lady was running? I can tell you first hand. No. Among thousands of people -- this is one of the least things to expect. And nobody screens the health of the runners/walkers beforehand. Marathon running/participation is at the discretion of the individual. Besides, had the woman experience... um... contractions -> birthing process -- medical teams were spread around the course. Plus, so many people watch the marathon. Thus, plenty of help was available. |
| Well if a lot of help was there, then cool, it all worked out. Still, I'm guessing that's how those weird clauses get on registration/release forms and stuff. People doing strange and crazy things that no one has ever thought of before. |
nerb said: Well, do you remember any woman with an engorged stomach running by? At the back of the pack -- you see all sorts of people... with bellies. Odds are - I saw her. But, I wouldn't have noticed pregnancy. Never in my mind would I ever have imagined a pregnant woman moving along on the course. |
| I kinda get the feeling that she's a shitty mother. I mean, really, to go run a marathon while your pregnant, the child's health be damned. |
 |
| I was just thinking that the only way to make this story more epic is if she had the baby while still running the marathon. |
| I'm pretty sure women shouldn't do excessive exercise at 39 weeks. |

| Must be a very tiresome day, but nicely done! |
