Title: NYC Marathon!
Post by: joann on November 06, 2005, 10:13:32 am
One of the greatest things about autumn in NYC.

NBC TV just ran a little Vanessa profile/interview, not her acutally running the race, a pre-recorded thingy.
Very nice!
Good luck V! I'll  be looking for your time in the Times tomorrow.

If you go to the NYC marathon offical site you can search for the name of any runner, and get their splits, and finish time.   :D

Is that good?

YES.

In a word, ANY marathon finish is good.  Remember, this is a race that the first guy who ever did it DIED at the finish.

Unless you've trained, the average person would never finish one either.

Running a marathon isn't about winning unless you are likely born in Kenya and raised from a kid to win these.  Simply finishing them is the goal, and she placed pretty well in the pack.

umm...Gary Muhrcke won the first ever NYC marathon back in 1970

he then competed in 1973, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1987, 1989, 1994 and 1999


so yeah...he didn't die at the finish line.

ahh yes, but:

1) he wasn't running a "race" for sport/leisure
b) The terrain was rocky hills and shit...that dude didn't stand a chance.

Phidippides did.

Glad someone here knows some history.  ;)

Yes, thats the guy I was refering to.

And BTW, they still run the original marathon route today, although on better roads.  ;)

And do a google search on "marathon deaths" and you can see that its still not the safest sport out there.  If you go in untrained (as most of us are), you can severely hurt or kill yourself.  My point stands, simply finishing a marathon is a huge milestone in and of itself.  And V finished closer to the front of the pack than the back, which says something too.

FYI, there were 2733 women age 20-29 in the marathon, and she placed 360 in that field.  She kicked some ass.

^ there's no argument there.  something like this requires training.

V had an olympic trainer for it

That's pretty good.

I almost forgot about this until I saw a blurb in SI about the guy who won and instantly thought, "I wonder how Vanessa did."

I may not be around all that much anymore, but I'm still a NESSAholic at heart  :lol:.
