He ran a 2:55:17!!!!
That is a 6:42 pace, and good for 711th place. Out of 46,795 finishers. That is the top 2%!
Here he is between miles 16-17, after just crossing the Queensboro bridge into Manhattan.
He even managed a wave!
It was a gorgeous day for spectating, and we headed into Central Park to catch him at Mile 25.
Then we hurried across the park to the runners exit.
So proud!
I am truly amazed at my husband's accomplishment.
I'm inspired by his dedication and to running, and in awe of his talent.
And I'm sure he is already eying a 2:50 marathon in Boston next April.
Just as soon as he can feel his legs again :)
I'm hoping Jerry will share his thoughts on the marathon later this week!
Kevbo's reaction to your breakdown of Jerry's stats- Holy shit, Jerry!
ReplyDeleteHe really is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI bragged about him at work :) I know a semi elite runner! I also think speedfreak needs to be changed to superhuman speedfreak!
ReplyDeleteI second Kate's comment. All of it.
ReplyDeleteI am THAT bragging mother in law! It is truly a testament to his talent and dedication, love the experiences Jerry's running brings to me!!
ReplyDeleteps could he please rest those legs!?
