“Great stride!”

Completely exhausted and bewildered by my sudden victory, this is what the commentator will be uttering in deep awe when I approach Central Park. This is due to his screaming in perplexed ecstasy over my defiant sprint for the last 10km of the race. New York Marathon, 2010, The Retaliation Race. And you will also be able to listen to it on the radio. Yes. Just like those old 1950’s films where the family is gathered around that tiny cubicle. It will be grand.
