This race was on Saturday and took place in Central Park. I think I might have mentioned it before, but there was a heatwave going on, so on Friday, NYRR downgraded the run from timed to and untimed fun run. They also changed it from a 10K to a 4M.
Number and shirt pick up took place at the NYRR headquarters. Shirt is pretty basic - a cotton tee with the race logo on it. Nothing fancy, but I use the shirts as throwaway shirts at races.
The race started at 9am, which came pretty early following my late night at the Jay-Z concert. I was definitely glad they changed it to a 4M. It was pretty hot out so I was glad to have a shorter distance to run.
I took the four miles easy and made sure to stop for water to stay hydrated. I saw some Team in Training pals during the run which was a good distraction.
Compared to normal NYRR races, this one was pretty small so I didn't have to worry about over crowded on the drive.
After the race, I caught up with some friends and then headed home to get showered and ready to go out to Jersey to visit the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.
