Slow first mile and then the race started to clear out a little bit. I felt pretty good for having run 23.5 miles the day before.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe line up a little farther up front.

All in all NYRR puts on a great RR. Although I hate the comute up to the city, the runs in the park are always kind of fun. I only wish they could control the start a little better. With 8000 runners, that first mile felt kind of dangerous with all of the normal recreational bikers and runners.

Six qualifiers down and three (NYCM, Joe K. 10K, and the Hot Choc. 15K) left to go.
