Olympic
Marathon Trials in New York's Central Park - 11/3/07 |
The start outside Radio City Music Hall at 7:30 AM |
Running up 7th Avenue before the mile mark. |
At the 15 mile mark there was a mix of newcomers and stars. This pack of 5 looked like it might produce the three qualifiers.Further back was popular Brian Sell who said pre-race that he'd give up running and go to dental school if he didn't make the Olympic team. |
Our group at the 15 mile mark waiting for the next loop. That's Arlene, Emily and Tessa seated. |
On the next loop Hall had blown the race wide open with 2nd place Dathan far behind. |
At this point Sell was sitting in 4th but closing on third place Dan Brown with one of the best marathoners in history right on his heels. |
That's Dathan headed to a 2nd place finish. |
Brian Sell grabs the third and gets one of the largest ovations of the day. |
The new kids on the block celebrate. |
The '08 marathon team (maybe!-I'll tell you more later) celebrates to the cheers of USA! USA! |
