I should really strike photo from the post title since my phone died/froze right after I crossed the finish line of the Ted Corbitt 15K this morning! But I'll add a link to the NYRR Photo Gallery to make up for it. There seemed to be a slight chance the race would have been switched to a fun run when the NYRR sent out an advisory that they were monitoring the weather conditions and would let runners know by 6 AM what to expect. Luckily (as this was the last Club race of the year) the race went off as planned :D
As for the weather it was chilly (but not really cold) - hovering just above freezing at the start. The real concern was snow - which actually held off until the race got underway (with slight flurries as we left the chutes). But it did pick up - and by the second loop it was bona fide snowfall accompanying us to the finish!
I didn't have any expectations, time-wise, for my performance. There was an outside hope I'd run a 1:15 (8 minute pace or so). But given how beat up I felt after last weekend's BUS Trail Mix-Up 50K there wasn't any speed left in my legs. Still, my 1:16:51, 8:15 pace, finish made me very happy! As a bonus, got to say hello to Gary Corbitt (Ted's son) as on the 102nd Street transverse during the first mile!
Here are the official results from NYRR.
