BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC (8
MILE MARK)

Photo
01: This particular marathon has a patriotic theme,
as a spectator waved the flag from his window.
- Photo
100: The orange cheering squad with Jerome O'Shaughnessy,
Sandra Scibelli and Jim Aneshansley. Meanwhile
Erik Gronning carries a huge "Go Shelley" banner.

Photo
02: First runner to come through was ... Shelley
Farmer! Actually, she is running with Tori Engel
as guides to an Achilles runner, and she has lost contact with
her runner. Originally, she was scheduled to run with
a blind Russian runner who was a no-show. On race morning,
she was assigned to guide a female wheelchair racer, who promptly
started out at 5:30 min/mile pace and vanished from sight.

03: Here comes the lead pack of men, virtually
all Africans (except for Silvio Guerra (Ecuador) and
Jon Brown (GBR)).

04: Toby Tanser

05: Here comes the lead pack of women

06: Craig Chilton follows Alan Ruben.
The greater signficance of this photo is that there is a hall-of-fame
legend, Joan Samuelson with them.

Susan Chepkemei, Svetlana Zhakarova and Ludmila
Petrova.

106: Deena Drossin wins the USA National
Marathon Championship in her debut (2:26:58)
- Photo
107: First CPTC finisher is Toby Tanser,
as is the case most of the time. While this 'tough guy'
run proves that one can run through assorted physical problems,
this is not recommended for just anyone.
- Photo
108: Photographic evidence in response to the question,
"Where is Rob Zand? I didn't see him on the
course."
- Photo
109: Every front runner's nightmare --- Alan
Ruben's signature staccato late-race burst.
- Photo
110: Craig Chilton goes under the 2:40 barrier
with a 2:39:58.
- Photo
111: Peter Allen, our second master finisher.
- Photo
112: Flashing by is Gordon Bakoulis.
(Flash Gordon, get it? We've waited a long time to use this)
Her accomplishments are a time of 2:41:43 for 17th overall, 1st
female master overall, 6th USA National USA championship finisher
and 2nd NYC local finisher (after Jeanne Hennessy (TRR)).
- Photo
113: Stuart Calderwood, our third master
finisher. Since our first three master finishers were 1-2-4
among the locals, this is yet another team victory. At this
point, our master team has an insurmountable lead in the NYRRC
Club Championships and will win for the third year in a row.

114: Charlie Stark
- Photo
115: There are teammates who prefer to run incognito
out of orange, a fact which we bemoan. There are other teammates
who score for us but run in the colors of other organizations
(e.g. NYPD and FDNY). And then there is an angel who runs
for Project A.L.S.
(for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease).
Today, Margaret Angell ran a PR of 2:51:50, being the fastest
New York City Marathon time for a member of the Central Park Track
Club.

Bermo.
- Photo
122: What is wrong with the preceding picture?
What is it so tiny? The same criticism applies to many photos
in this series. Why? That was because there was a
couple who decided that they were going to camp out in the middle
of the road right in front of our photographer. Here is
a photo of the two most-hated people who were busily talking and
not even looking at the race. ¡Pendejos! And where
were the cops when we needed them? Why do the cops want
to pick on James Siegel instead?
- Photo
123: Stefani Jackenthal in her marathon debut
(3:02:30). But this is not to say that she has not done
marathons, because she is an ironman triathlete.

124: Yumi Ogita

125: Shula Sarner, who together with
Stefani Jackenthal and Margaret Angell are the second
place open team (good enough for $500!)

but he would be hard to miss
CENTRAL PARK EAST DRIVE (88th STREET) (23.75
MILES)
- Photo
151: Deprived of our traditional spot at the top
of the hill at the 102nd Street entrance into the park, the wall
of orange was formed on East Drive inside the park.

152: Another photo of the lineup
- Movie 1:
This is a five-second clip of these noise-makers
- Photo
153: On this special day, even Canadians are waving
the stars-and-stripes.
- Photo
154: On the opposite side of the road, a patriot
watches from the top of the hill
- Photo
155: The New York Marathon is about crowds
- Photo
156: As joyous as marathons are, the 2001 New York
City Marathon will always be remembered with a tinge of sorrow.
Far away from the madding crowd, the Central Park reservoir sits
quietly ...
