Blog #2: NYC Marathon

Got home from Millerton around 3pm, and the course - which basically goes past our front door - was still open so I ran the final 8 miles or so as a bandit (conveniently pulled out at the 25 mile mark as bandits not allowed into the finish zone). There was a good atmosphere with plenty of curbside entertainment, and I enjoyed the back-of-the-pack cameraderie, and my Qantas Socceroos shirt got plenty of "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie"'s from the spectators. It ws also a chilly day for the marathon, max only about 9C or 10C.
