New York City Marathon 2010 A marathon of all the fascinating New York. Planned three years ago, it was mainly the sporty Ambition, which inspired me for this run. Today I know that the New York Marathon is more than just a marathon. The enthusiasm for this run is just the whole event: sports, fun and fascination. D as this event makes it a very special show. Running in the pulse of New York, accompanied 42km of rhythms, Show, bridges and
and a unique Manhattan skyline. Feel your body, enjoy life, run your marathon. Yes, something like this to feel at this course. No, full as on this recording of the running for me never was. Well then maybe it? Further back, there where all the fun of sports with runners start without your fancy panels.
are 42.2km long, this blog also, so my conclusion at the very beginning. Yes it's true, New York is unique, and Manhattan. the marathon even more. The combination of all that makes this Running really different. But what is different? This is in this race report. I think New Yorkers can not imagine 42.2km run. Revered get them one, as they wanted to feel like what it feels like to walk so far. Who does not know this run, I can recommend him to you. Go and finisht this marathon. By the way, in New York tell me no one has asked for my off time. Finishing is important. And that this marathon can feel so right and feel. And for the sporty-ambitious: The run I finischte in 3 hours and 48 minutes. My time worst result. But definitely the most emotional and most fascinating Marathon which I ran so far. And I am fully satisfied with all that time. Ersen is still my chronic injury on F still acute. Could still useable finishing loose. Took enough time to take pictures. Lived felt and enjoyed this run. So I want all who are interested read on this blog to share a few impressions, great of a marathon, a city much has power and influence.
Before I decided to run the New York marathon, I was far away from triathlons and Ironman. I was then registered with Kuoni, and announced my interest. Although it took another two years because it was possible that I got a confirmation for participation in 2010. OK, it worked so well. The application I made for a whole group of runners. all full of enthusiasm and with much expectations. New York here we come. two years, a long time. Much had changed in that time. Colleagues with a new job today. New friendships. I have stocks finished in the meantime my Ironman. Have great new friends. Many later by the Triathlon Club Free Radicals. And now two years I am now sitting on a plane to New York with a lot of expectations. Yes what awaits me in a sporting perspective, I know very well. New York myself, I do not know yet. I'm curious . Here we go: For the first time in New York, skyscrapers, bridges and lights. Ryffel Running and Kuoni had already tipped us months ago with lots of information. Now we are on approach, d as weather is bad. Sorry, no view from plane to Manhattan. Fog, wet and cold. Hm I did not have me as presented. Everything can only get better. The flight with American Airlines was doing well. Had much to write such was the time pass quickly. arrived at the Airport, is only one waiting in line the day. Passport control! Pre warns of friends. But it was still really corrosive. 1.5 hours waiting Juhui. Why do it the Americans any better? Which I would like to give some tips. Well they may not feel well. A European with proposals. OK, I better say nothing. Wants without any problems as quickly as possible then to Manhattan The first look into Manhattan from the coach. Impressive if not overwhelming. Yes, the buildings are undoubtedly high. Also in advance be patient. Jam, jam, jam. Juhui, I think all Maratonis are already there. Lots going on the streets. It's full of joggers, whether well trained or who have too little? First we go now but starting to pick up the numbers. On Thursday! Important because it is not so much going on at the Marathon Expo. Fortunately, no queuing.
Here all is well-organized. A huge hall. One finds, however, along fast. The size of the fair is truly impressive Radiant owner of New York City Marathon race numbers :-))) Then take a little shopping. Good prices, the dollar sends his regards. First get hold of bargains. Then the first time walking through Manhattan directly to the hotel. Yes the first time the big surprise is announced. Brachial impression of the city, lights, lights, L ichter, L ichter, L ichter, lights ......... The camera runs hot. Knips knips, knips. This is very impressive, really. A vast number of people and cars that passed through the city. Yes, now you can feel the pulse of Manhattan. I think this is the first time where I was fascinated by advertising. Here you can almost feel the force which radiates Manhattan. Le Parker Meridien New York, five-star hotel. Hm, visit us what the temple offers However, the hotel gives me a good impression. Great rooms, nice rooms, pool on the top floor. Well, what then were really lacked the elevators. In a few seconds you're in the fortieth floor! Unbelievable, and you feel almost nothing of the enormous lift speed. Once at the top of the pool but not fascinated by the view of all of Manhattan. And for all the questions in the meantime, what does this have to do that all with the New York Marathon? Quite simply, all that goes with it!! Manhattan sensing, feeling and seeing. For each city belongs to the race. The first makes it a really great event. On Friday Sightseeing is announced. The program is part of the Kuoni. Above ground zero. Now, after nine years I would have expected more. Still a huge construction site.
The speed as people move through Manhattan is impressive. Hectic, as if all might miss something. No time to rest. Is somehow sympathetic to me ;-) Then a quiet place just right for a Fotoshoting. This is it, too! Voluntary hours of waiting. Well for me that is not completely understood. OK, they say, though, is 42.2km run course not ...... shopping, shopping, shopping ..... Yes and then there was the meeting with Mr. Joseph Deiss, President of the UN General Assembly in New York. With official receipt for us marathoners. Information to the UN first hand, and a guide through the different rooms. Yes, yes, still not at run, because now it's in the evening to a Basketball Game New York Knicks vs. Washington Wizards
OK, I am writing because nothing more ..... .., the marathon is now ,..... ....... The marathon is getting closer. I am a little nervous at each competition. Also part of it. Prepare evening everything so that the morning is also not forgotten anything. time to look at all the documents I have none. But as an old race veteran only needs a fly over of the documents! Ne ...... thinking ... that was definitely a mistake, what will turn out later. When 45,000 runners seeking a common goal, it needs a somewhat larger organization. Marathon starts in Fort Wadsworth, at the foot of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge
gave the morning at 5 am's breakfast delivered. 6Uhr15 onto buses and away towards the starting area. The 45,000 runners will be divided into three waves, which start 30 minutes was added. With my best Finischerzeit of 3:30 in Munich, I can start in the first wave which starts at 9 clock 40th
not a cloud in sky blue, but black ... cold 4 ° C . New York perfectly! I am really happy. This is a really great day. In the cold I've prepared myself. Three old sweaters to keep warm me. I throw it away just before the start. And it takes, because there's really nowhere to warm up to get a job! finally arrived, cavort thousands already in the starting area below the bridge. The launch will then go on various bridge approaches at the same time. Everything is organized via color code clearly visible. The color of my race number to enter, will start in what I bridge ramp. Responsible of the OC have each maintained in its sector where it is going to Great atmosphere, but also a crackling Stress can be a waiting time pass very quickly . The Verrazano Narrows Bridge dominated in the background, as if one wants to say clearly and unmistakably: Hey this is the New York Marathon. Yes, yes and then. Start overslept. Out of sheer fascination, shit .... The individual waves are each separated into a Vorselektionierung in bloom, and there is also a last time before the checking. Shitt, we've definitely missed. No chance to start over with the Wave 1 of the New York Marathon.
First, there is great disappointment, but then ....., n a so what. Yes we start holding the matter with the Wave 2, where 30 minutes later. undisputed that has really annoyed us. Well, as consolation, in the selectioning of Wave 2, we have noticed that this is still very many so gone. Hahahaha. Jetz but goes `s going on. I stand at the entrance to the bridge. Hey, this is already really like it because Taff better and better. They are no fairy tale. The bridges have it in them. This is already like an Alpine run "
The size, width and height of bridges and buildings is overwhelming. Continuously all of this is still very much impressive. As you get right marathon fever.
No bang and already I am right in the middle. Drinking in the marathon of marathons g, efesselt of what assets include the senses, I'm floating the first few miles away. The vibration of the bass and rhythms take one to the finish. Now g anz Manhattan in the marathon fever. A vast number of spectators, supporters and associates celebrate all along the 42.2 km. It is danced and fortified in. A cheering and fascinating atmosphere all radiate. This gives the marathon a unique atmosphere.
Whether on bridges or in Manhattan myself, I never felt it really tight, and the aid stations were easily accessible. Respect for the OK, and that with 45,000 runners!
Well, you see it: Started in the second wave. Mug, cup, cup. I'm definitely not the first of the passes Zentum in Manhattan where skyscrapers dominate, at this season is virtually no sun, the buildings too high, too long shadow. But ..... the routing is done successfully. So I still had the whole run in bright sunshine back down.
rebels came to the goal has long been my idea avoiding hamstring. Duration-plagued contests for nearly 20 and a Haglund's deformity.
The last few miles have begun. - The city is raging. - The emotions of the stop is unique, overwhelming.. Hey, that allows the Achilles tendon forget ;-) With the goal in mind, a compelling enthusiasm will be really drawn to Central Park. Now it's the first time, really tight. The New York Marathon in season two million fans along the 42.2km. A large part of it will be now probably in the target area. Juhui this will be a spectacle. And already at the finish. The race was exciting from the first mile to the end.
Satisfied with my Finischerzeit, it is now towards the hotel where Kuoni receives the finish with a beer.
Then a little disappointed at the lack of objective "Arena" and the lack of objective events, it became soon clear Jeah in Manhattan is now Finisherparty . So now through Manhattan to the hotel. Normally would the last 10-15 minutes. But today is a marathon party. The whole thing is not so easily! Thousands of fans wanted to celebrate with you. There must come through you first. The New York presented me with drinks, chocolate and very much respect. As Wolter they feel how it feels when one is 42.2 km run.
Everyone wanted to know how it was. Do you have stocks finished? No one asks for your time. For only the finishing it. The respect of the 42.2 km, the first must be one of finished. 1.5 hours it took, until I arrived at the hotel.
Then the evening out, one is addressed again and again. You want to be one with you. Live, love, and this marathon.
Yes this beer I've now earned, it was a great day, a great marathon New York great and fascinating city with a Power. A city that lives, but also a city where the center, the heart no Resting place. It lives 24 hours non stop. The pulse is taken from Manhattan by many great people The city is close to me as any: Authentic and Moving It was a great experience , it was worth it. to feel this marathon. I can highly recommend it to anyone. 42km from New York, as see the city as you feel the city because you are a part of New York. As you make the pulse, the Manhattan makes it so unique. Christmas Shopping? No, the New York Marathon is what will bring me one more time to New York. Yes and for me is a great sporting year to the end. Two half-marathon, and then for the first time deadline for this year. New York was unquestionably the high point in terms of sports, fun and fascination. The Ironman Zurich the highlight from a sporting point of view. I never want to miss two events. I will definitely these competitions in the years to repeat. 2011 already packed with competitions. But now I look forward to a little rest from competition. And am already looking forward to a full 2011 Sporty I hope that I have with this post, was able to convince one or other of the fascination of the marathon experience for once. And maybe just the New York Marathon is now felt to be the next. Have fun, It's all good.
