Details

As race day get closer, I am less concerned about finishing the race and more consumed by all the details.

I am number 54037, which is meaningless.

I am in WAVE 3 which starts at 10:20am. Considering that I will be at the starting line beginning at 6:30am, that kind of sucks.

I am a GREEN start. This means I will be on the lower level of the Verrazano Bridge, which also kind of sucks because I have already crossed that on my bike. I was really hoping for the upper level.

Here is the official map for the 2008 Marathon:

A lot of people like to document their run (something I will not be doing). Here are two that I found:

• I think this guy was from out of town

• This person was not running but did a great job of photographing the entire route
