Chaos at Boston

Explosions went off near the Boston Marathon finish line just about 80 minutes after I finished the race. The euphoria of my finish has evaporated and I feel sick for all of the victims who were mostly spectators.



I am staying near one of the hospitals, there are lots of ambulances going under my hotel window. The people inside were cheering me on this afternoon.
