Ugh, what a rainy, cold morning. I was under a tent. Felt bad for you runners out there in the rain!
It wasn’t so bad running it. I barely noticed the rain. Ben said it rained on the hard side for a bit during the race. I hadn’t noticed.

It’s worthy of that position!
Or you can just hang out and watch in Queens with me! 😛
When I ran it, I loved seeing spectators in Queens just before the bridge. Helped steel me for the climb!
It’s so great to be able to watch these races – you can feel the excitement emanating from the TV!
