(As a personal contribution to today’s NYC marathon excitement, I just may walk briskly to over to somewhere on the route to cheer a few on. At least *somewhat* briskly).

Mile 23, running up an incline on 5th Avenue. Impressed crowd cheering them on. Me, I’m wondering if I should come back around the six hour mark to cheer on *my* aspirational people.

Mile 24, and these people are still running uphill. (Meanwhile, I walked the hypotenuse between miles 23 and 24 so averaging things out for humanity.)pic.twitter.com/in3ptDRzzN

One they’re still running. Some of them are talking to each other! Two, the bit right after mile 26 is an incline. WTF? Three, a guy just walked by to finish line with a big sign and flowers, getting ready to propose to runner 9X. (I’m walking even slower to manage the average).pic.twitter.com/PhiPnQ3seR

0:13NYPD 19th PrecinctVerified account @NYPD19PctThat’s a wrap! The end of the NYC Marathon has reached the Upper East Side, Manhattan. 1st Avenue is gradually reopening to pedestrians and soon to vehicles. Please be guided by officers block to block as the Avenue fully reopens. pic.twitter.com/mUJ6xefW8a3 replies 0 retweets 31 likesShow this thread -
I saw somebody who had collapsed, about .2 miles from the marathon finish! Within sight! Man. He only had two cops around him, nobody medical, and it looked like he had hit the wall—not a heart attack or an injury. I really hope he got a sports drink or gel and walked to the end!

Replying to @zeynep
For perspective, that's the 100m in 22.5s - a little more than twice the Olympic record - 421 times in a row at that pace.
