First, my apologies for the delay in getting the week 43 recap written. I was in Frankfurt, Germany with my family for a long weekend where I was running my 5th marathon. Family certainly takes priority over MM.
Second, I would like to thank Alexander Mou for coming up with the idea for this week. I must admit that I was a bit skeptical that data set would be hard to visualize, yet like every single week of MM, the Community didn’t disappoint. This turned out to be a really fun week in which we got to know more about each other and how we all compare to Americans.
On to the favorites…
