The Thrill of Victory

That would be Paul Tergat, as you see below. The close observer will note the agony of defeat, Hendrick Ramaal, in the background. Lying down on the ground. After losing the New York City Marathon. By less than a second.




What an awesome picture.

What an awesome race.

The race was actually last week, but these pictures are so good, I thought it was worth talking about. A friend of mine has Dish TV and gets the New York station that covers the whole race. So we watched the whole thing live. It was such a great race from to start to finish. Who knew watching skinny guys run for over two hours could be so fun?
