ING New York City Marathon Aftermath

I did it!

- My ultimate running dream and 5th 42km: ING NYC Marathon -

My New York City Marathon was the slowest 42k I ever ran. Unofficial time was 4:56:38, a far cry from what I had hoped and trained for. I thought I was ready, but as it is with marathons (and in life) things don’t always go your way. I was in a lot of pain during the last 12k thanks to ITBS plus what felt like a frozen hip and inner thighs.

But, I’m still on cloud 9! It was an unbelievable and unforgettable experience. I am still in awe of the 2.6 million New Yorkers who stepped out of their homes and yelled their lungs out to cheer us on. Thank you so much New York!

I loved every bit of the race despite my disappointing performance. I’ll get over it. More than anything, it was a great experience that I’ll always remember.

More detailed story of my marathon after I get some rest.

CONGRATULATIONS!
You may be disappointed with your ‘slow’ run, but at least you finished. Gebrselassie retired after the 16th mile. And Chilean miner Edison Peña ran it in 5:40

as gordon bakoulis said, what’s exciting about the marathon is that it’s full of surprises.

to paraphrase murakami (based on your finish time), at least you never walked.

considering that new york race course is hilly, my hats off to you. congratulations jaymie!

Congratulations Jaymie! Don’t fret over your performance. It was a hard course under very tough conditions — the cold, the headwind, but quite an experience. Apart from this year’s NYC Marathon, the only other one I have done has been the TBR 2010 Dream Marathon. Both were fantastic experiences in their own right.

I believe a congrats is in order even though it was a tough race, just completing it makes you one of a small percentage. I am sure the whole package of being there made it worth it. One question, will you be doing the HK in February, I am going.
