Riverotter, I got pics. My husband thinks I shouldn't post them since we don't know the people. Let's just say that there were Queens, Turtles, Mullets, some kind of virgins ( wish I could post the pic!) Young, old, experienced, novices, bands, cheerleaders, and yes we had beignets out in front of Blue Orleans!
Thanks everybody for all your support!

I missed 3rd place in my age category by 6 seconds!:pissed:

I missed the virgins :floor:, but I did get pics of the queens and the mullets, and I don't have a husband telling me what not to post. :floor:However, the pics are amongst the many which I took today, but have yet to sort through.

SuperMom, I really don't think they would care if you posted photos of them. You know they were running for 13 miles in those outfits and sat around to eat lunch in front of hundreds of people while wearing them. I think it will be fine. ;-)

My wife said that when she got back to the bridge where about the one mile mark is there had been paramedics there and that they commented that it didn't look good for whomever....

Not starting something.... just trying to confirm.

I believe a 29 year old male runner from Alabama had a heart attack. I'm not sure of any of the details. I think more information will be released today.

Mr Seagrover was told the guy died from the heart attack at mm1. He was running the half - such a tradegy for someone so young!

He is my sorority sister's husband. The latest information is that he suffered 2 cardiac arrest and has no brain activity. He was airlifted to UAB in Birmingham last night.

From an email I received this morning:

Ellis was in great shape. He ran in marathons all over the southeast and has won some of them. He finished in the TOP 100 of the Boston Marathon last year.

None of the projections are good. However, they are all praying for a small miracle because there are cases of people turning around. I’m spreading the word to please say a prayer for him because that’s all they’ve got so I hope you don’t mind getting this email.

Please think of him today and say a prayer for him. Thanks

Before I read this post, I assumed the guy was in bad shape. This is unbelievable. So sad :(

Wow! I have heard of some miracles, and know a couple of walking miracles myself, so let's wish him the best, and hope he is one of those miracles.

I have sent your email to people that I know from Point Washington United Methodist Church, Good News Methodist Church, Chapel at the Beach at Rosemary, Crosspoint Church, Destiny Church, Christian International and St Rita's Catholic Church. If anyone attends another Church or has friends at other Churches, please forward this info to their prayer groups as well.

I came across this thread while searching the web for news articles about my friend, Ellis. I work with Ellis in Birmingham. He is 30, a loving husband and parent, a hard worker and generally a really great guy.

The poster before was correct that Ellis was an experienced runner. I know that he has competed in the Boston twice and recently placed 6th in the Mercedes marathon here in Birmingham. He ran the Seaside half marathon last year also I believe. I know that he was looking forward to this as a fun trip.

The poster was also correct that the outlook is not good and his family and all of his friends at work are praying for him. This is a real tragedy. I'm sure his family will appreciate the prayers of you all.
