I'm home, and I finished the New York City Marathon yesterday (although my feet were trashed so I ended up slowly walking in the last 6 miles)! Thanks for watching out for me! Unfortunately the scan doesn't do the medal justice, it's deeply sculpted and didn't all get in focus in the scan. There were 36894 official finishers, so only 2.2% of them finished behind me! But we finished! I'll post a long report when I've recovered a bit, and when I get my mind around the fact I'm actually entered in Ironman Florida a year from now....| First Name | Last Name | Age | Team | Runner # | Place | Gender Place | Age Place | Pace | Finish Time | Net Time | 10K Split | Half Split | 20M Split | ||

Congrats on finishing NYC marathon! I watched the NBC coverage and it looks like SUCH an amazing atmosphere to part of.

And congratulations on totally losing your mind and signing up for IMFL. There's a fine line between bravery and foolishness - I know you will train to stay on the good side of it.
Congrats Nancy. That's a great medal. I saw a pic of it on the TV. What an amazing feeling it must have been to be in the massive crowd. Was that your hand I saw waving???
