NYC Marathon 2004
 
 
Here are a few photos from the NYC Marathon. Some where taken by G and others by me during the race with a disposable camera.
 

   

A beautiful crisp morning. Here is the entrace to the waiting area
I was in the blue area on Staten Island. Plenty of free food while waiting
My bag kept me company for the four hours I was waiting for the start.
At the bottom of the Verazano-Narrows Bridge at the start.
The view at the start was epic as you ran up the bridge.
Looking onto New York and while running across the bridge.
A look back at all the runners. I hopped up on the rail and took this shot.
Skip forward to the half-way point. A look at Manhattan as we go into Queens.
Going up the lower level of the 59th Street Bridge.
G and Jeremy are over there somewhere. This is after finishing the 59th Bridge.
G's view while spectating in Manhattan near the end of the race
Folks did what they could to find who they were rooting on in the race.
By the 59th Street Bridge.
A view of the metal suspension of the 59th Street Bridge.
Just a few runners trickling in at the after the lead pack.
A lone runner.
Now, a few more coming through
The floodgates are opening.
And now you have a mass of people running.
Much of the race was crowded like this for me. It was hard to manuver at times.
A band playing at the end of the course right by Central Park.
