A race with a smile

stats of the week: run 11 km, gym 3 h
stats of the previous week: run 56 km (NYC marathon 4:26)

This photo was taken at mile 14, later on I looked different.


I had a surprisingly short day at the NYC marathon. Our bus arrived at Fort Wadsworth late at 8am so I had to wait not very long to my second wave blue start at 10.15am. Then I was happy to be able to run properly until 35 km before I had to walk several times to reach the finish. 4 minutes slower than last year what I regard as the usual age decline. The medical supervisors unfortunately ignored me so I went straight on to the subway station and was back in the hotel at 4pm proudly looking at my medal.
