I just got an email from McAllen Marathon team – apparently I came in 3rd! The listed 3rd place finisher didn’t actually finish the race, even though her chip triggered at the finish line. Kinda cool! Here’s the email. Text below.
Congratulations Lisa!
After reviewing the final results from Sunday’s McAllen Marathon, we discovered an error. It seems the overall third place female finisher in the marathon did not complete the marathon. Her chip was somehow read by the sensors. She notified us of the error and we have removed her from the results.
You are now the overall third place finisher and winner of $250.00. Please complete the attached form so we can mail you a check.
Thank you for running the McAllen Marathon.
Thank You,
