Great weather! It almost ended up being a little warm. I went into this race without much preparation, so I did not know what to expect. I was happy with the results. 1:32.04 - 3rd in my age group. It probably was my slowest 1/2 but I'm okay with that:)

Great time pacing 1:45 today...

Lead pacer...kept us pretty conservative till the out and back part...pretty spot on with how we pushed slightly towards the end to bank a lil before the bridge...

Love pacing...can't see if I'll ever just race one of these big races ever again...

Congrats to everyone who rocked it today :)

Not a good race. Goal was to beat my PR from last year. Went out at 6:30 pace until just before 8 miles and then got weak mentally. Right quad was also bugging me a bit. Last year I felt like crap until the half way point then sped up. This year I felt like crap and the legs just never came back.

Today was just one of those days that was close to perfect. I was a bit nervous to pace my first race, but it was such a joy. I absolutely loved it. I had been warned by pretty much everyone not to go too fast, but I took my peeps with me and told them we would do 1:57. There were 3 other 2:00 pacers, so people had options. I talked the entire, yes, the entire, time. Can't wait to do it again. Totally made my year when people told me I kept them going. Because that's what it's all about, right? I think so. :)

Molly volunteered. Friends around every corner. Beautiful weather. Perfect city. Top Ten Day.

Hope everyone had fun. Congrats to all. Props to Ben and Jason on yet an another amazing race.

This sums it up: "First half: 47:39; Second half: 50:20"

That aside, I enjoyed the day, especially the comraderie and fellowship of all the runners. From those I don't get to see too often, to those I see only @ races, to those I've never seen before. Great day, great race.

Team "i can. i will!" took home the trophy for Most Team Members; awesome!

In other news, #NoShaveNovember kicked off today.

That was not one of the smarter races I've run. My goal was 7:30 pace and my first mile was 6:56. Oops. I paid for that mistake the last half of the race. Oh well, there's always next time. Overall the race was a lot of fun. Had some family in town to watch, and this was my aunt's first half which was great to see! Weather was a little warm for racing, but I'm not gonna complain about the 70s in November. Congrats to everyone who ran!

Greetings for NYC! This is a great race and we had great weather conditions as well. I just didn't get in enough miles in training. I ran the first half in 1:53 but started slowing down in mile 16. Usual Suspects were very hard on me the last 5 miles. Got a lift around mile 23 when I saw Daniel.

Pros:

The Start - the view from the Verrazano-Narrows bridge was breathtaking. The buzzing of the NYPD helicopters provided the soundtrack and added to the thrill. The security here was an annoyance but when you see how much effort they put into keeping this event safe you have to be thankful for their efforts.

Central Park - an awesome finishing location.

The Finish - see below

Cons:

Brooklyn - most of it is just urban decay. The only highlight was seeing the Hasidic Jews; especially when a couple of them darted across the course. They really don't care about the marathon and I respect them for that.

Bronx - probably more my fault - I was just sick of crowds by then and not wanting to run away from the finish line.

Spectators - There were some good crowds but First Ave was a letdown for me. Boston crowds win hands down.

The Finish - I understand they need to get us out of the Park but why send us back downtown to the meet area? But the parka and goodie bag was top notch. What is it about the taste of real food after you finish? That apple was nothing special but tasted like nectar. My best moment was when I tried to exit at 72nd Street since Ann and the kids were uptown. There was a cop and I asked him if I could proceed. He said in his classic NYC accent - "You just finished the New York City Marathon. You can do whatever you want."
  • Linny Linny Priceless. :)
    • posted at 07:38:00 EDT
  • Dan Dan Huge props to ya finishing out NYC--one of the tougher courses in my opinion--going in with some injury issues. And staying tough when these Suspects showed up! Hope you and Ann have a great time in NYC!!

CONGRATS to James in NYC; all you Halfsy racers; and anyone else who raced this weekend! Good stuff!

This was my first double digit run since the marathon, and also the first run since then where my ankles had zero pain! Totally cannot wait to get back to a regular training cycle...looks like I will build back towards that this upcoming week. I am glad that I took it easy the past 2 weeks for equal parts coming off the race, and the potential-for-worse ankle injury/tendonitis.

Looks like a great day for the Halfsy. Good luck to everyone racing it. Hope to see you at the finish. Stayed in town and went to the "Gentlemen's Guide to Love and Murder". Good show. Out near the baseball field was a guy sleeping in his car. Must have been really out of it, slumped over and hit the horn as I got close but still didn't wake up. He had moved a bit the second time I passed by so left him alone.
