Marathon de Paris

Today is the Paris Marathon. Metcheck.com says it's not as cold there (7 C) as it is here (3 C).

The guys in front just passed 30 km with a time of 1:30:38 or something like that. It's not world-record speed, but it's nevertheless blazingly fast. Some of the folks in front still look incredibly smooth after 90 minutes at 20 kph. I'd love to be able to run like that at 16-17 kph.

One thing I notice is they have lots of bottled water at the refreshment stands, but I don't see the sports drink. Hope I don't have to do Lyon on water alone.
