stats of the week: indoor cycled 30 km, gym 1.5 h
stats of the week: run 51 km, walked 38 km
As expected the New York weekend was strenuous. But it was great, with a marathon atmosphere better than ever. Brooklyn was exciting. Spectators were in best mood, with numerous humorous signs and in some places runners had to find a narrow way through the masses. It was my 12th NY but crowds were better than ever.
I was also quite happy with my performance. After the very limited preparation my plan of 30 min running followed by 3 min of walking worked well until 35 km. Then I had to walk more unsurprisingly. My finish after 4:41:04 was enough to be placed 39th of 214 in my age group. Not too bad.
After this experience I hope to come back next year for my very last New York Marathon. Time will show.
