Running and Winning; NYC Recap

RUN NYC! The day began in the darkness of the early morning,  under a light and chilly rain, but the mood was jovial and positive. The group of 60 runners were split up in different starting locations and times, but many still ran as a group.  We all met up later in the evening at the PowerBar Recovery Party where it was refreshing to see so many still smiling faces. We had an amazing representation from 15 different countries with a common goal, help raise money for youth running programs, and have some fun along the way. ...and that we did! Run 26.2 miles, (40 km) and dance all night! Certain individuals were awarded for their amazing accomplishments, including: Completion of the most Marathons: Male Winner: Malcolm Hunter, CFO of  Nestlé Nutrition- 66th marathon, including 11 Ultra Marathons. Female winner: Anilda Dewarrat- 44th Marathon, including 8 continents and 18 countries Fastest Male: Patrick Clement (Switzerland) 2:46:30 Fastest Female: Andrea Maier (Switzerland) 3:28:01  Phil Annett and Eric Zaltas recently completed the ultimate triple challenge: Ironman Switzerland, Tour de France Mont Ventoux road race, and the New York City Marathon! Congratulations to Meb Keflezighi and the entire group. It was my great privilege to be part of this, and I can confidently speak for the group in saying our goal was accomplished!
