"Three-Hour Time Limit
Please note that in the interest of safety, any NYC Half-Marathon participant who is not able to maintain a 13:45-per-mile pace throughout the race (3:00 projected finishing time) will be picked up along the course starting at approximately mile 8 and transported to the finish. The time it takes the last runner (who was at the start line at the start) to cross the start line will be added to the overall 3:00 time limit, ensuring all participants a 13:45-per-mile pace. We thank you in advance for your cooperation with this policy."
15,000 runners; 66 degrees high temperature; New York City. I'm taking the train to get my race packet today. If all goes well, tomorrow morning at 7:35 I'll be running, walking, and/or crawling the half. My left knee pain is practically gone. I can ignore the occasional snap, crackle, pop Rice Krispies sound it sometimes makes. I CAN wake up tomorrow at 3:30 a.m.' drive for 90+ minutes, find a parking garage, get to the start, run/walk/crawl 13.1 miles, and then figure out how to take the subway 8 miles back to where I parked...I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.
