• Comments: Great day, fun race, nice crowd (at the finish). After running the full marathon last year and enduring the lonesome 10 miles on the Wantaugh Highway (nobody for miles), it was fun to run the half this year and be in constant contact with other runners for the whole race. My goal was to break 1:50 and it kills me to have missed it by 3 seconds. Next time! One random thought: why is County Executive Ed Mangano's name on everything - the t-shirt, finishers medal, etc.? I've never run another race where a politician puts their own name on the race swag.
