Marine Corps Marathon 2024, Day 6: Travel Day to Chicago

October 28, 2024

While it would have been efficient to head back to Chicago post-race, Liz wanted some more time to rest/recuperate. So we had an extra night in DC scheduled, with our trip back to Chicago slated for the evening.

Sometime last night, we realized that our hotel check-out time was 11AM, and our flight wasn’t until 7PM. So while there was a little time to rest, there wasn’t a ton. So we made some calls, and got an early afternoon flight out instead. Which worked out quite well.

Sad we couldn’t rest a little more, and spend a bit more time in DC. But most of this would have been recovery time in the hotel room, which is something we could do just as well (and much cheaper) in Chicago.

Would have been nice to try to get back to Jack Rose one more time. But ah well, something for the next trip.
