What an amazing race! I am blown away by the entire experience. Running the New York marathon is absolutely amazing. I will have a full write up and will keep adding photos over the next few days.

First here are the basic facts. I finished in 4:05:48 at a 9:23 pace. This beats my prior PR by about 15 minutes!

  1. Congratulations on an Amazing Race this past weekend! It looks like you had a great time and lots of fun.

    How was the wind during the marathon? Did you have everything you needed for the race?

    Good Luck in your future events,
    Tammy

  2. Thanks Tammy. I did have a great time. The race was amazing. I didn't really notice any wind once I started running, but that's probably because there were always lots of people around me. It was very cold and windy before the race, but whenever the wind died down it was beautiful. It was a great temperature to run in.

    Yes, I had everything I needed and not too many extras. I didn't pack a garbage bag since it wasn't going to rain, but it's good to bring one anyway to sit on it on the grass. I found one that someone dropped so I was fine with that. I didn't sit down for long anyway as I kept walking around to check out where everything was.

    Thanks. I can't wait to pick out my next marathon. I'm also hoping to run NY again next year if I can get in.
