I was still at the gym (just about to leave and head over to Central Park) when Paula Radcliffe won – everyone was gathered around the TV to watch – It took me a few minutes to get to the race route, where I managed to get a spot at the “200 yards to go” spot – These were the first female and male runners that I got to see in the marathon:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bib number F23: Victoria Ganushina of New York (yeah!). Placed 18th among the women.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bib No F22: Heather Killeen-Frisone of California. Placed 19th among the women.<\/p>\n

From the official ING NYC Marathon page:
\nAleksandr Kuzin [bib No. 10]
\nUkraine<\/strong>
\nAge:<\/strong> 33
\nResidence:<\/strong> Ukraine
\nKuzin amazed the running world by winning the Linz Marathon on April 15 in 2:07:33, the fastest time by a European (and second-fastest by anyone) this year and nearly a three-minute personal record. He has set two Ukrainian marathon records (the last beaten recently by Dmytro Baranovsky’s 2:07:15), and he has run on Ukrainian teams at several major events, including a respectable 18th at the 2001 IAAF World Championships. Kuzin must now be considered a serious podium threat at the ING New York City Marathon 2007.
\n***
\nHe came in 9th place overall.
\nI’ll try to get an actual album up (with lots of photos of the not-so-professional runners) in the next few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
