The NYC Marathon
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005Sorry for the delay, but here it is, my blathering about the NYC Marathon.
My stats:
Official time: 4:12
Net time: 4:11
Place: ~11,200
- My Bib … in the garbage: Two days before the marathon, I realize I threw out my number and sneaker chip, and that I had taken the trash out… I am an idiot.
- The bus ride: we picked up a wandering Venezuelan dude who was left stranded when his taxi wasn’t allowed over the Verrazano Bridge.
- The start: Funny people and lots of urination.
- The race: A play-by-play with some great photos. "The Wall" hit at about mile 21.
- My Quote: I was quoted in the NYTimes the next day. Find out why the reporter picked me.
- After-Race Thoughts: Being a part of something so big that I spent months preparing for became an unexpectedly emotional experience.
