That is wonderful. To be able to hold a 10 minute mile over 100 miles would be a very cool accomplishment. Even the 18:27 minute miler is very impressive.
Mike Arnstein, who finished fourth, is happy to describe himself as "only a road runner"!
He organizes the http://theholidaymarathons.com/ in the Bronx. They are wonderfully low key and a blast - I don't do many events but I've done many of these. So much fun!
Wow! I'm hugely impressed! This race is the epitome of tough and with any luck at all, no one will ever convince me to try it. OMG...10 m/m. Incredible!
DNEChris, I just looked at the Holiday Marathons website and I think I'll add a race or 2 to my (short) list. It sound like the perfect type of fun running party. I could maybe convince a friend or 2 to join me for a 1/2 or a 10k.
Thanks for introducing me to these races, it's more reasonable than a 100 miler. And a trail race in NYC? Who would have thought it was possible.
