So last weekend was the final 'big city' marathon of 2009. The New York City Marathon is one of the largest in the world and this year it attracted a super strong field for both the men and women.The Science of Sport Blog has posted an awesome analysis of both the Men's and Women's race. Check it out to see some excellent marathon related data.
The Washington Post also did an excellent analysis of the
'marathon wall' based on mile split data taken over the final 10 miles.
I was really pleased to see Paula win her third title. She is the greatest female marathoner in the world, regardless of his missteps at the Olympics. She took the lead within the first few moments of the race and never let anyone get ahead of her.
Karolina and I both hope to run in NYC marathon some day down the road.

Philly gets no love? What about Richmond? Ok, Richmond doesn't count, but Philly 'thon is coming up (I think).
Dude, send me the washington post stuff... I impulse bought a garmin 405 the day before NYC and was stoked to review the data the next day.... fugger reset on itself, all data lost. I WAS PISSED, all that work for nothing :)
