Another nice day.
We stood and waited for more than an hour to watch him finish the marathon. Then afterwards we waited another hour to find him/meet up. All the streets were closed off and he was walking s l o w l y, so it took a while.
We found a place to eat and took the train home. He thanked me for coming by, said he knew it was no picnic with impatient toddler.
I did give him a quick hug when we first saw him after the race and said congrats. He seemed surprised, but didn't mind. Hope that's not breaking all the DB rules. I figured I'll treat him like I would any friend.
Oh we also brought snacks for him, croissants, cookies etc.
