It was a very hot one on that day. Any race in New York City you should always take the subway to the race and leave very early. The trains run slower on the weekend. This day the trains was delayed so NYRR push the start time back a little bit. The course was not that hard at all rolling hills, lots of water and Gatorade stations. The crowd was great cheering you on giving you that extra boost to run fast. One guy was handing out Hersey kisses. One cool thing about the race was the finish line was right by Yankee stadium. For the record I'm a Mets fan. The race was very organized plenty of volunteers to help you out. NYRR is the best I have nothing but good things to say about them.
