The 41st running of the NYC marathon is Sunday, November 6th. We wish Sal's runner Frank Quattrone the best of luck and are sure he will beat at least 30,000 runners!
There are, however, several reasons why many people may not win this race, in fact MW came up with 10 of them:
1. You have to stop to pick up your “nip” band aids.
2. Dan traps you at the start to discuss a structures design. (Dan is an ITT engineer).
3. You are stuck behind a French runner having his good luck cigarette. (happened to me in 2001)
4. Sprained a wrist giving high fives.
5. Breathed deeply by a NY deli and had to stop to get a sub.
6. Got dq’d because you started after the wrong gun shot.
7. Got lost on the Verrazano Bridge.
8. Accidently wore a Red Sox hat.
9. Stopped to let 1 runner ahead of you and 3000 snuck in right behind him.
10. Got delayed explaining to a native New Yorker what pop and white hots were.
