Broad Street Run 2008: A Comedy of New Errors
This year’s Broad Street Run, 2008 introduced some new surprises, and I have to say that it was certainly different than any other Broad Street (or any other race, for that matter) I’ve experienced. Culminating with a first-time runner beating me by several minutes, a late start (I was late, the race started on time), and the Garmin watch not finding a satellite in such a way that I could track my splits, let’s just say things weren’t exactly as I’d hoped. Coming off a Broad Street PR in 2007, I had high hopes, all of which were dashed in just 1:33:47.
