David Katz is in London on business. Official business. He’s the Olympic marathon’s official course measurer says the Wall Street Journal. The London course has already caused some headlines because of its more than 90 turns, many of them hairpins. Katz says the fact that the longest straightaway is less than half a mile long is making his job more difficult than usual.
