After Elena passed, I went to another location to try to catch her again, where there's a turnaround<\/span> so I could<\/span>\nget a view<\/span> of the runners coming directly at me.<\/p>\n\n

Unfortunately, Police wouldn't let anyone linger at the one good viewing spot, despite it being the one spot anywhere nearby\nwhere a gathered<\/span> crowd wouldn't<\/i> inconvenience others. It made no<\/span> sense, but it's just as well because it turns out that Elena\nhad passed before I got<\/span> there.<\/p>\n\n

So, I moved to a spot a few minutes before the finish.<\/p>\n\n

Despite having looked for the pace runners when I was<\/span> at my initial location earlier in the day, I hadn't<\/span> seen any until now. The two little<\/span> balloons and the vest weren't as visually conspicuous as I remember<\/span> from years past. She was right<\/span> on pace, though...\nthe folks around her with bib numbers all finished within 20 seconds of the 4:00:00 mark.<\/p>\n\n

Everywhere near the finish line is off limits to non-runners, so I wandered<\/span> over as close as I could<\/span> get...<\/p>\n\n

The big area in front of the gate was also off limits, for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n\n

Right at the gate was a pathway for spectators, then on the other side of the gate was where runners emptied into\nafter they finished.<\/p>\n\n
