I don't know where they are -- I saw the mens' leaders go by 64rd St (but I don't know if they're going uptown or downtown). Are the men going to catch up to the women? Did all women start at 08:45 or 08:50? Does that mean many men will be catching up to women?

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

Elite women started at 9:11:14 Men started at 9:43 all other women and men started in their time seeded corral behind the elite men

Thx Ennay. It'll be a wonder if noone gets clipped by those motorcycles, bikes, and wheelchairs -- and camera crews -- zooming around. The camera crews seem to get awfully close -- for a while I though the one trailing the womens' lead pack was going to clip the back of the pack.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

I can only read Paula and Kara's shirts -- who are the other women in the lead pack? The black woman in red top and long socks looks like her shirt says WAM? The men don't seem to have names on their shirts -- except ABDI?

Can't thank you enough for posting the link Perfesser, I had no idea. GREAT stuff, and more to come. MTA: best link evah. Between this and the request for a Sara/Anna update you won some kind of webbie award this weekend.

Yeah that was great, she doesn't look very old either. Her first Marathon, that amazes me.
