New York City Marathon 2006
For the low, low price of just $4.99, you can watch the ING New York City Marathon live on Sunday (or see a replay on demand) over at NBCSports.com. Viewers will have exclusive access to the 'LanceCam,' a dedicated camera that will follow Lance Armstrong as he runs the marathon (Activeness!Cam has been disabled, as I have deferred my race entry until next year.).
Armstrong has lined up an all-star team of pacers to help with his marathon debut. Alberto Salazar, Joan Benoit Samuelson, and Hicham El Guerrouj will take turns attempting to keep Lance at a 7-minute-per-mile pace.
A Boulder Daily Camera columnist tries to guess Lance's finishing time. Predictions range from 2:40-3:30.
The New York Times reports that this year's race participants will receive a SpongeBob cap in their goody bags. Karen Driscoll, SVP for strategic marketing at Nickelodeon, utters the ridiculous quote of the week: "SpongeBob is the eternal optimist."
Ultra-Dean Karnazes will be in New York City for marathon #50. Activated.
A Running Times columnist would like people to focus less on completing a marathon and notice that competitive American marathoners are getting faster. "It is time to place emphasis on the finish line rather than finishing." Two Americans — Meb Keflezighi and Deena Kastor — have an excellent chance to win in New York.
