I don’t mean looking forward for a few weeks or a few months. I’m talking about years. For me those sorts of experiences almost always end in disappointment. They can never live up to what I’ve built them up to be in my imagi- nation. The New York City Mara- thon shattered that pattern, far exceeding my expectations. Why New York? I was a dedicated half-marathoner until I learned about the route of the NYC Marathon. Having been to the city only once before on a quick weekend trip, I knew little about it, but I was fascinated by the chance to tour all five bor- oughs on foot. What better way to see it! I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to meet New York and New Yorkers at ground lev- el. That’s what hooked me and kept me applying year after year. My mantra of “The half, always the half” changed to “Only New York and only once.” NYC <continued on Page 2> Heading up the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge at the start of the NYC Marathon. www.BirminghamTrackClub.com • DECEMBER 2009/JANUARY 2010 www.BirminghamTrackClub.com • DECEMBER 2009/JANUARY 2010 NYC <continued fom Page 2> I first tossed my name into the NYC lottery in 2006, made the field in 2008, and canceled with the plan to run this year. That means I knew in June 2008 I would be running in the 2009 race. Four years of antici- pation had a target date but miles to go before race day. I ran through the summer of 2008. I ran through the summer of 2009. I questioned my sanity as I ran on those early Saturday mornings and as I limped through all those Saturday after- noons. I counted down the long runs remaining, smiling a bit when I could count them on one hand. Then it was down to four, three, two, one and done. It was time to do what I’d been preparing for. I stayed with relatives in the Bayside area of Queens on this trip, another great opportunity to see more than just the tourist side of New York. To get to the expo at the Javits Center in Manhattan, we walked to the station to take the Long Island Railroad to Penn Station TOP: xyxyxyx xyxyxyx xyxy xyxyxyxyx xyxy RIGHT: Xyxyxyx xyxyxyx xyxyx and then walked down 34th Street xyxyyxyxxyxyxy xyxy BOTTOM: xyxyxyx xyyxyxxyyxx xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxy until we saw the huge building with all the marathon signs outside. It NYC <continued on Page 2> was easy to know we were headed in the right direction by all the people passing us carrying race packets. I confess I got a little misty when I got in the packet pick-up line. After all that time, after all the anticipation, the race had finally arrived. Packet pick-up was incredibly efficient. Spotters directed runners to the next available person at the first station where identification was verified. After checking my driver’s license and stamping my registration verification, the volun- teer wished me luck and directed me on to the packet station. I found the section for the green 58000s and handed over my form. “Have you been eating?” she asked. I spotted the grease stains on the form that prompted the question and con- fessed to the peanut butter cookie from the neighborhood bakery in Bayside that was in my backpack. She found my packet, ensured I un- derstood how the D-chip worked, and sent me on to the next station, shirts. Unlike so many other races, I didn’t have to commit to a shirt size in advance. The volunteer helped me pick what we thought would be the TOP: Michele outside the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, transportation to the start. right size, but I did try it on before ABOVE: Race advertisement at a subway entrance.

  • A Farewell to Guy Morse the Man Who Played a Huge Role in Saving the Boston Marathon Moves On
    A Farewell to Guy Morse The man who played a huge role in saving the Boston Marathon moves on. uy Morse spent 28 years—beginning in December 1984—with the B.A.A. and left the organization at the end of 2012, leaving it much better off than Gwhen he started. His accomplishments are many and have been documented such that a generation from now the organization and the city of Boston will look upon the growth under his tenure and will be able to put the era in perspective. Though the B.A.A. marked its 125th anniversary in 2012, Morse started as its first employee when the club recognized the need to move the marathon to a professionally run organization. The marathon was growing and change was im- minent; otherwise the event would be left behind, surpassed by progressive and more appealing approaches. Morse knew the B.A.A.’s main event would require the assistance of many. Though the terms may be more prevalent today than in the 1980s, he effectively sought to rebrand and relaunch the Boston Marathon, though he did not have the luxury of employing the strategy in a vacuum. There would not be an ability to pause, skip a year, and come out with his guns blazing on an 18- or 24-month horizon. No, this challenge would have to be met within the many constraints and limitations that are inherent in an event with many distinctions and traditions. In fact, while they were assets, those same qualities were holding back the race from being able to be agile and adaptive.

  • Marathoners Warned About Too Much Water
    Marathoners Warned About Too Much Water By GINA KOLATA Copyright 2005 New York Times Dr. Lewis G. Maharam, the medical director for the New York City Marathon and marathons in San Diego, Phoenix, Nashville and Virginia Beach, said he was taking every opportunity this year to educate runners about the biggest threat to their lives on race day - drinking too much water. He knows the danger: in their zeal to avoid becoming dehydrated, runners may end up drinking so much that they dilute their blood. Water rushes into cells, including cells of the brain. The swollen brain cells press against the skull, and the result can be fatal. The resulting condition is known as hyponatremia - too much water. “There are no reported cases of dehydration causing death in the history of world running,” Maharam said. “But there are plenty of cases of people dying of hyponatremia.” No one knows how many have died, said Dr. Arthur Siegel, the chief of internal medicine at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass., and the designated hyponatremia team leader for recent Boston Marathons. But he said that perhaps a dozen hyponatremia deaths had been recognized, according to informal communications among doctors at recent marathons. So this year, for the first time, the participant handbook for runners in the Nov. 6 New York City Marathon tells them how much to drink - no more than eight ounces of water every 20 minutes. Maharam also makes sure the message is delivered via television shows that feature news about the marathon. He makes an announcement at the start of the marathon about how much to drink.

Methods: We analysed the results of six European (Paris, London, Berlin) and American (Boston, Chicago, New York) marathon races from 2001 to 2010 through 1,791,972 participants’ performances (all finishers per year and race). Four environmental factors were gathered for each of the 60 races: temperature (uC), humidity (%), dew point (uC), and the atmospheric pressure at sea level (hPA); as well as the concentrations of four atmospheric pollutants: NO2 –SO2 –O3 and 23 PM10 (mg.m ). Results: All performances per year and race are normally distributed with distribution parameters (mean and standard deviation) that differ according to environmental factors. Air temperature and performance are significantly correlated through a quadratic model. The optimal temperatures for maximal mean speed of all runners vary depending on the performance level. When temperature increases above these optima, running speed decreases and withdrawal rates increase.
