01: Peter Allen finds an orange-clad photographer
at the top of the hill.

02: You would have to be a real (=more than 10 years)
veteran to own a singlet like Theo Spilka's.
- Photo
03: Jon Weilbaker's singlet is not as old (between
5 and 10 years).
- Photo
04: Chris Jurkiewicz ran up to apologise, "Sorry,
I forgot about the team singlet." Shame on you, Chris!
East 95th Street (100 meters to finish)

21: Peter Allen was reminded to kick at this point,
as another runner was right behind him.
- Photo
22: Theo Spilka had a horde of runners right behind
him.
- Photo
23: Jon Weilbaker finished fast and spent the next
hour looking for his family.
- Photo
24: Jack Brennan looked yearningly for the finish
line on the right hand side, instead of straight up front.

--- wearing a white singlet and running in the middle of the pack.
He said, "This is Father's Day. That's why I had to
run."

26: Chris Jurkiewicz made it six runners with six
different singlets.
SUPPORT CREW

11: Harry Morales files the standard complaint:
"Hey, I'm not in the race. Why are you taking photos
of me?" The first sentence is a statement of fact.
The second sentence is a question that has no relevance to the
first sentence.

12: Yumi Ogita and Erika Maple Ogita-Yamazaki
wait for dad to come around. They will have to look hard
because dad is running incognito in a generic white singlet
...

13: Sid Howard arrived too late to start the race.
So he got to keep Robby and Matty Allen company
while mom and dad ran the race. Here he directs them to
look at the camera.
- Photo
15: Well, Sid Howard at least served a purpose
today. Here he shakes hand with Jack Brennan, third-place
male 50-54. Kinda remind us of Joe Louis and Willie
Mays, doesn't it?
- Photo
14: Here is Bola Awofeso and his bike. He
insists that he is not running because he is injured, okay?
Not that biking has treated him kindly either, as Julie Denney
and company put him through a real workout in Nyack the
day before.
