How to watch me run the Marathon. Hopefully I don’t have any John Wilkes Booths out there.

How/Where to Watch:

  • Start Time: 10:40 AM (give or take 5 min delay)  
  • Marathon Bib Number: 45937
  • Click here for Course Map
  • I’ll be wearing a purple Team In Training tank top (like so). I also plan on wearing a bright teal headband to make myself stand out a bit more, and my name will be on my shirt with hot pink tape to make it even easier to spot me.
  • My running buddy Emily and I will try to stay on the LEFT SIDE throughout the race. So be on that side of the street! And cheer for her too – she is awesome.
    • However, if you plan on watching in Park Slope or Prospect Heights I will be on the right side since I’m in the Blue Wave. Starting in Clinton Hill and through Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and all other boroughs, I will be on the left side!
  • Schedule below shows what estimated time I will be at each mile marker (but depending on how I’m feeling there’s a good chance I may be speedier. Or slower. So get there early!) You can use this schedule along with the Course Map to figure out the best place to watch for you.
  • If you plan on coming, can you let me know exactly where you’ll be (street/ exact corner) and if possible, wear something bright - something so I don’t miss you!
  • I recommend you track me by phone… there are three different ways you can track me: via automatic texts, online, or by iPhone app…all are explained in detail here. You’ll just need my bib # 45937.
  • My coach has also written a spectator blog post, which is a great resource too.

 

Asics also started a program called Support Your Marathoner.  Fans can upload messages and videos to runner #816046 (me) and the fanfare will be displayed on screens at miles 9, 13, and 22 during the race. Click here to support me: http://www.supportyourmarathoner.com/runners/816046

I’ll be watching Caitlin run on 1st ave and as she enters the park to finish! People are welcome to hang at my place and cheer from here.
