The interesting story of the 30th annual Chicago Marathon wasn't the record heat, the complaints of insufficient water supplies, or the early stoppage.
Instead, it was the interesting finishes of the race.
1. The men's race came down to a photo finish - the winner won by a fraction of a second.
2. The women's race sounded like a modern day version of the Tortoise and the Hare.
Romanian runner Adriana Pirtea had a 30-second lead with 2 miles to go.
Unfortunately, she started "show boating" by high-fiving fans at the approach to the finish line. Ethiopian Berhane Adere sneaked by her to win by 3 seconds.
