As regular readers know, I shot a whole bunch of photos of last Sunday’s Chicago Marathon—over 1700 images—and I think I covered 10 to 20% of the field of runners. I’ve posted all these Chicago Marathon images at SmugMug.
The photos are sorted into chronological order based on the camera’s timestamp and separated into six galleries of roughly 300 images. The middle part of the name of each photo is the timestamp (e.g. CM_102351_0321 means 10:23:51), so if you calculate when you passed my location you can look for your picture.

I was waiting just after the giant pagoda thing you see in all the pictures of Chinatown. I’ve mapped the location on Google Maps or (if you have it) Google Earth.
That’s a few blocks before the 35 kilometer timing point. So if you or someone you know ran in the race, you can lookup their times (by bib number or name) at the Chicago Marathon results page. Add the elapsed time to the starting time (nominally 8 am) to get the time they reached the 35km point, then knock off a few minutes to get the rough time they passed my camera.
Here are quick links to the galleries based on when the runner reached my location:

All photos are the unretouched, uncropped 10MP JPEGs right from the camera. You can order prints right off that page if you want, but you can also download the original full-resolution image by clicking the “save photo” link. Even if you appear small in the frame, at this resolution you should be able to get a nice picture by cropping in on yourself using any photo editing software.
Let me know if I got you.
