Two days before the marathon visit to pick up race numbers and the large runner-Expo -
. There are certainly this year a great event shirt, but also on the stands of the exhibitors many interesting Products. If you hesitate at the subscriber clothes, picks, because I'm annoyed today that I did not buy certain things!
- reception in the Austrian Consulate General
The Austrian Consul General in New York (Dr. Peter Brezovski) invites the Austrian participants (of course) at the NYC Marathon a year to a reception. Very nicely organized, in addition, there is a light buffet with a good wine (or other beverages). In many cases, the organizers point out, however. But must not be! Therefore, the following information to:
meeting on Friday, 5 November, 19.00h, Austrian Consulate General New York, 31 East 69th Street, New York, NY 10021st
- Friendship Run
this take place the day before the marathon and it is a kind of breakfast run by the UN to Central Park . Even if you do not bystanders, go back and look at that, which offer the participants. For the colorful diversity of nations that voted happily completed the four kilometers, is considered unique. And then you will be refreshed too!
- The Day!
You will be picked up no later than at 6:00 local time and are on site at 7:00. It is November and the morning quite fresh! This means I hope you have old clothes with you draw up to then about it, because the start - take place as at 10:00 clock - depending on the shaft. The clothing is then discarded and collected by relief organizations. Please pass on startup to get rid as many runners in the clothing after the start. Then are you like me because I'm completely slammed on the pavement and started to doubt - that's it! the way, the toilet's more than enough. So just do not stress!
- The Marathon!
Verenzano in waves across the bridge, accompanied by Frank Sinatra's New York , New York! I've never been a "goose bumps start" experienced! All the best, go to plan. Only at the level Guggenheim Museum I had to stop because I was plagued a cramp. I then (m) a time (3:59:28) just landed in the first third shows that the marathon is slower than most. For that I would have usually already pretty beat. There are just but a few bridges that were not destroyed. And a lot of altitude are more likely toward the end of the competition. Therefore divided forces well! Incidentally, there's enough aid stations (every mile) and also viewers (about 2 million)!
is also crucial if you run 26.2 miles, or 42,195 km. Why? I have mentally during the race on Miles moved. Of which there were less and my head had more fun with it.
motivating you agree to the Tasache that fail in New York only about 1% of the athletes. In this goal all want. And YOU are there!
- Next ...! The day after
shalt thou go again in the target area. There is still one of finisher buy clothing and engrave the possibility in your medal your time. Enjoy and once again the environment. Please run at least once (preferably in the morning) through Central Park. to experience the autumn table runners Park is an absolute must. In this case you should use the route on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir choose over!
Now you have time to experience New York. Do this as much as possible. Advice can - and will - I do not give here, because the tastes are very different. Outside the normal tourist attractions, "but the m & m's world Times Square is a sin.
A few more sentences to eat. I was almost starved to death in New York, for I found a few pubs in which man was edible (which is certainly a lot of money with no problem). Two recommendations for breakfast but I can give. Europa Cafe and Le Pain Quotiden . Both in the 7th Avenue, on the left toward Central Park!
Allen, die sich in den nächsten Tagen auf die Reise machen, wünsche ich eine wunderschöne Reise, einen Lauf zum ganz persönlichen Erfolg und einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in New York! Alles Gute!!!
