PRE-RACE ACTIVITIES

01: Color coordination is what it is all about.

02: "Sid Howard. Does anyone know
where Sid Howard is?" "Hmmm ... can't you
see that we're kinda busy getting ready? Sid must be jogging
somewhere."
- Photo
03: Big orange-jacketed cheering squad running in
the opposite direction (from left): Josh Friedman, Kim
Mannen, Jerome O'Shaughnessy and Lauren Eckhart.
- Photo
04: "Excuse us, fellows, why do you have to
climb to the top of a hill in order to change your clothing?
Are you guys exhibitionists?" "The ground is all
rain-soaked. This rock is the only dry spot around here.
Get it?"
- Photo
05: Alayne Adams: "I don't know why
I am doing this ..."
- Photo
06: Shai Waisman said, "I know this
man! He was a spectator at the Philadelphia Marathon, wearing
the orange jacket. When I ran by him, I yelled out 'Central
Park Track Club.' Since he had never seen me before, he
was probably astonished that someone in Philadelphia could identify
his team so spontaneously." Shai also thanked us, "I
want to thank you for listing me as a Philadelphia Marathon participant
on your home page. Shula Sarner called me up and
asked me if I was really running that race. I said, 'How
do you know that?' She said, 'It's posted all over the Internet.'
I said, 'You're kidding!' She said, 'No, I'm not!'"
Finally Shai wants to thank Audrey Kingsley, "How
many people can claim to have Audrey running with them for the
last ten miles of the race? She was saying things like,
'Here are some of my teammates. You better keep running
and not embarrass me!'"

07: Audrey Kingsley must be wondering: "Are
all photographers voyeurs?"

79: The loneliness of the long distance runner.
This long distance runner (Gordon Holmes) is lonely because
he began his race about 15 minutes after the others!
MILE 1.7 (WEST 98th STREET)
- Photo
11: Toby Tanser is the first Central Park
Track Club runner at this point, and fifth place overall.
When asked at the start if he has any physical ailments today,
he said, "Ah, I have issues. I always have issues.
I think the only people who don't have issues will be the male
and female winners of today's race."

12: Josh Feldman and Isaya Okwiya

Look hard enough and you will find Stuart Calderwood.

you looking for? The camera is this way.
- Photo
21: Audrey Kingsley: "I couldn't find
my orange gloves this morning, so I guess I'll wear an orange
singlet over my favorite long white sleeve shirt."
- Photo
22: Shula Sarner. Runner #4672 is Jordan
Metzl, who came up to Jeff Wilson at the start line,
"Hi, are you going to be at the finish? Could you look
after my fanny pack and my jacket? Good, thanks. I'm
not even going to ask what your name is. Your orange jacket
is good enough for me." The reason why he is so trusting
about a random orange-jacketed person can be found in this photo.

EAST 100th STREET (6.1 MILES)

31: Toby Tanser

32: Toby Tanser. Note: He's really
not so slow that we can take two pictures; it's just that this
is the perfect spot in the park and the digital camera comes with
a 20X zoom.

33: Josh Feldman and one-third of Isaya
Okwiya

34: Kevin Arlyck, with a big-time PR of 33:58

36: Alan Ruben, our first master finisher.

37: Bill Haskins with Doug Hegley
(NYH) right behind him

38: Doug Hegley now ahead of Bill Haskins.
In case you are wondering about the final outcome, Bill finished
ahead of Doug, both given the identical time of 35:02.
- Photo
39: Stuart Calderwood next to Hans Parrado
(WS), with Ricardo Granados right behind. Our master
runners Alan, Stuart and Ricardo finished 2-6-7 for another win.
Actually, quite a while ago, this team had already claimed the
divisional championship with the largest point margin among all
the divisions. This is the third year in a row that our
masters team has won the club championship. Today's race
was therefore really a victory lap.

62: Race leader Peter Sherry heads one way
while the Central Park Track Club cheering squad heads the other
way.

61: Paul Sinclair. No, this is not
the same as Photo 47.
It's just that we were terribly inefficient by posting two photographers
at the same spot.

Questions: Why are there numerous listings of New
York Harriers? Because some of them also run a google.com
rating contest among themsevles ...
