HALF MARATHON
Start (East 70th Street)
-
Photo
01: The half marathon was a women's club scoring
race. During the week, the men were encouraged to show
up to cheer the racers. That is why at 8am on a Sunday
morning, Jeff Wilson is eating a power breakfast at the
corner of West 72nd Street.

don't I look happy?"

West 73rd Street (1.2 mile mark)
-

11: In this women's-only half marathon, the top
women will be running mostly be themselves. Just past
one mile in the race, Margaret Angell is by herself already,
in sixth place.
-
Photo
12: By agreement, our women would all run at the
pace that they are comfortable with, instead of pack running.
Also running in the top ten are Alayne Adams and Stephanie
Gould. Coach Tony Ruiz had predicted times
for each of them, but of course he did not tell them beforehand.

13: After our projected top three, we bought three
insurance policies. Insurance policy#1 is Audrey Kingsley,
3:05 at the 2002 Boston Marathon.

14: Insurance policy#2 is Shula Sarner,
recovering from an injury. At this point, Shula said,
"I can still talk ..." Yes, save your breath
--- you might need it 12 miles from now.

out sick this past week ..."
