It turns out I will be out of town this weekend. Does someone want to event host?

Oh, nevermind. I guess rich is. Hope we can get a good turnout!

DO you guys know what the pace would be for this one?

Hey Elizabeth (and all), right now only Patrick is a yes for this. He'd like to get 3 to 5 more yeses so it make sense for him to meet people so if everyone can RSVP yes or no if they are a maybe, that'd be great. Patrick will probably do the 18 miles at between 8:30 and 9:00 pace so definitely join him if you'd like to do that!

I am not sure I can handle the 18 at 8:30, but I would if it's 9 to 9:30... so I am a maybe!

I'm sure 9:00 is doable for most people. Patrick, what do you think?

I'm planning on doing about 9:00, possibly a little faster if I'm feeling good about it. The bridges we'll be running (with the exception of the GWB) will be short and therefore not very steep. However, it is 18 miles and will be somewhat to very challenging depending on how accustomed you are to the distance.

we are doing 20 miles next weekend and we've been to the GWB a bunch of times, so I am not sure I can/should go under pace much... still a "maybe"...

Hey all, it seems that most of you want to do between 9:00 and a little slower. Definitely RSVP yes if you can make it and want to do that time and others will too.

Also, it's definitely a good idea for everyone to study the map first and once you split into pace groups (or decide to stay together at the beginning), make sure not to leave anyone behind since you'll be running on some unfamiliar streets.

I did a little quicker than 8:30mm at the NYRR run last week but Im will to go slower...Is it just gonna be the 4 of us doing this bridges run???

Hey guys! Maybe we could start at 7:00am. I think 8:00 is a little bit late for a 18 miles run. Just a thought, but i`m still in.

7 am works for me. Hopefully i can handle around a 9 minute mile. I was in the 9:30 group at the long run this past weekend and they went faster than that for a lot of the time and it was fine. I don't want to be holding anyone back though, so I will bring the map and can either go on my own or bail early if i can't keep up.

did anyone else have any thoughts on moving this up to 7 or are we still starting at 8?

People!! wake up! 7 or 8? it`s tomorrow. Say something.

I'd prefer 8 since I'm coming from Brooklyn. For anyone concerned about temperature, it's projected to only be 74 by 11 tomorrow.

that was my concern. but alright then. 8am it is.
We meet at the start on Carl Schurtz Park on the level of 86th st. Or somewhere else?

Let's meet at the start.

Stopped the watch a couple times at pit stops, but left it running during traffic (and there was quite a bit of it).
