I, like most people planning to run the Boston Marathon had been watching the weather reports regularly the whole week before. From the get-go, it didn’t look good. 88 degrees. There was lots of talk of quitting, then the predictions started to drop. By midweek the high was predicted to be 66 degrees. Then it inched further back up again until Sunday where the latest dopler 9000 super robot predicted 91 degrees. All the while, the Boston Athletic Association was sending me emails with increasing frequency. The first one was simple, “The forecast for April 16th is calling for higher than normal temperatures on the course…” The last one was slightly more explicit, “PLEASE DON’T DO THIS, LIAM. ITS FUCKING CRAZY OUT THERE. NOTHING IS WORTH THIS,” which actually could have been from my fiancée, I get the two confused (I’m just kidding!!!! I love you Boston Athletic Association!).
I have often been accused of giving in to exaggeration and hyperbole, but I think I can safely say that my experience at the 2012 Boston Marathon was the most traumatic event that has ever happened to anyone ever.
The Boston Marathon is a legendary sporting blah, blah, blah with years of blah, blah, blah and a rite of passage for blah, blah, blah. The one thing I know is when I go to a race and see someone wearing a boston windbreaker, they are fast. I would like to be known as fast, but not by doing it the hard way by like winning lots of races and stuff. Getting that windbreaker seemed like the easiest way. But given the forecast the next day I was wary of buying one at the expo. What if I didn’t finish? It is said that Pheidippides had to burn his windbreaker before he died of exhaustion after the battle of marathon. At the expo amongst all the 2012 windbreakers they had all the windbreakers of yore on display. Oh! The Majesty! Oh! The History! Just imagine how much wind had been broken throughout the years! I bought a fucking windbreaker.
Get this though, every volunteer gets a windbreaker! Wack.
Monday Morning, When I loaded the shuttle bus, I naturally did what any cool kid would do, and sat in the back seat. That way the bus driver wouldn’t get on my case if I cursed, you know? My teammate and like-minded cool person, Taeya, saw me and came back as well. What struck us first was how long the ride took. It took well over 45 minutes to get to Hopkinton, and these people expected us to run back! It was already in the seventies. Once in Hopkinton, I went through my pre-race ritual: shit, lube my junk, repeat.
A month before at the New York Half Marathon, my teammate Danny asked me what my strategy was for the race. I told him, “I’m going to push the pace at the beginning, treat it like a 10k, and see what I have left for the second half.” He replied, “Oh, so you are running stupid.” My plan for Boston was similar. It was in the seventies and only going to get hotter. I did a practice mile 2 days before at a similar temperature and found I was comfortable with a 6:20 pace. My strategy was to just run comfortably and hopefully bank some time in the beginning because I was only going to get slower as the temperature went up.
The gun goes off, I was in the first corral behind the elite runners. We all descend down the first big downhill. A nearby house was blasting the theme to Rocky, a runner near me yells, “Too soon!” Right away I realized, I needed water all the time. I’ve never really enjoyed the city of boston, feeling its main purpose was giving filmmakers a setting to have white people be gangsters in modern movies. But I will say, they take care of the marathoners. With the official BAA water stops only every 2 miles or so, had I only gotten water from them, I never would have finished. It was all the spectators who made their own water stops, sometimes giving out whole bottles of water that got me through.
The first few miles had shade, but it pretty much disappeared as I headed into the city. I found myself only looking for what people were handing out. Water? Great. Wet Paper towel? Sure, why not. Cold kitchen sponge? Yes, please. Orange? No thanks, because c’mon, fruit? But then I saw the holy grail: Flavor-ice. People were giving out pre-opened flavor-ice. My vision turned into a T-800, just scanning for flavor-ice. I’d take a bite, leave it in my mouth while feeling the bag melt in my hand. When would my next flavor-ice come? I did not know, and dear reader, that’s what scared me most.
My NBR teammates and my fiancée gave me a boost and ice at mile 16. My speed had already started to drop and I still had heartbreak hill. People began to just stop. At one point I passed one of the elite Kenyans who was barely jogging with a pacer by his side. What was happening to us? I just kept my head down and just muscled up the hill. My legs began to burn. Secretly I had hoped to break 2:55 but I knew it wasn’t possible, 3 was within reach if I just kept moving. My pace slowed considerably the last few miles. I finished with a 2:58:08.
I had to walk a little over a mile back to the hotel. I was in a daze. I felt like I was a victim of a crime. Like I should call the cops, “Officer, they made so many people run, but its like really hot out! Please do something!” I got a medal from one of the volunteers in a windbreaker. Jerks.
Congrats to everyone who ran this year. Finishing is the new PR.

Yesterday was the three-year anniversary of the first race that North Brooklyn Runners ran!
Yes, it was three years ago that NYRR added the “North Brooklyn Runners” option to the Team drop-down menu and three of us signed up to run the City Parks Foundation – Run for the Parks 4 Miler on April 5, 2009. It’s amazing to see how much the team has grown over the past three years! At the time of the race, NBR was only a few months old and we didn’t have uniforms, or a website, or even a quarter of the organized runs we have now. And even though so much has changed in NBR, the core idea of the team being open to anyone who loves running no matter how fast or slow, or whether they race or not, or even if they live in Brooklyn or not, is still true today = ].
Thanks to Aja for founding the team! And thanks to NBR for three awesome years of racing. If I didn’t have such great people to run with i know I wouldn’t have stuck with running again this long. Oh and thanks for making it impossible for me to run a race and not immediately follow it with brunch.

Our goal has been to get 40 volunteers and we still need you help!!! With as many people as we have in this group, this should be a piece of cake!

A STREET CAR NAMED DESIRE OUTRUN BY NBR
SCENE 1 SATURDAY:
(a cool, slightly windy day. The sun is out. The smell of Beignets sits in the city like the scent of maple syrup in Greenpoint. 3 simultaneous conventions take place… a cheerleading convention, one for wheelchairs and a bunch of runners. We focus on the runners.)
10am
Chantodd, Jerome, and a still recovering Mary Harvey…. Running around the Superdome, Confections consumed at Sucré, Muffulettas, Andouille Cheesecake, Gumbo…a demonstration why it’s called the Big Easy (to get fat).
11:30am
Cory…. In the Casino. Indoor smoking surrounds him. Wheeze.
Carla…. Admires 7 cats out her window…. Later a cat-nap and text messaging.
1pm
Christophe: a jog through the french quarter. Accompanying him is a shirtless Louisiana man. Accidentally (and awkwardly) he runs into a cousin…. with aforementioned shirtless Louisiana man still in tow. Proves awkward when cousin tries to hug sweaty shirtless Louisiana man in tow. Later will travel to Little Ho Chi Minh city and experience one of the best Banh Mi/ Po’Boy’s in his life.
Dinner Supper Time
Lars: Dining with the cute Vertin sisters… “Delicious!“
Mishka: pleading and attempting to pin-on a mardi gras ensemble on lil’sis NBR debutante Marecca Vertin. (PS. The outfit is sweeter than sweet tea in a hot Louisiana bayou)
Chantodd, Jerome and Mary at Café Adelaide
Christophe and honorary member David joins the CORLA (Cory/Carla) and cousin Oceanna Clifford to eat an unnecessary carb loaded dinner. Cory doesn’t see the Skeleton Mona Lisa… but he draws a most excellent portrait of Carla (do you have pics of that!?)
(lights fade)
SCENE 2 SUNDAY:
5:45am
A failed attempt to rally the troops for a group photo… application of bodyglide and talk about bowel movements.
7am
THE RACE (13,000+ 1/2 marathoner participants and 7,000 additional full marathon runners)
The Scene on Poydras Street: Public Urination. Last minute corral jumping.. Thank God it’s a Rock and Roll Marathon Competition. (imagine this happening at the NYRR-4miler.. Quelle Horreur!!) An easy road race. Cute NBR will be sprinkled throughout… They will run by the Real World house on Charles Street. They will run by Café Du Monde (no beignets handouts!), they will run by one another at the turn around (yay Cory! You were booking it!!!). They will PR well cuz it’s… the BIG EASY (see results below)
1:19:44
Lars W. Roe crosses finish line. (sweat on his eyebrow, shaving 3 min off his PR, he takes 34th overall)… wonders about the positioning of the 12th mile marker.
1:20:11
Cory Zwerlein crosses the finish (he takes 40th overall with a 5 min shave off his PR)
1:31:18
Mishka Vertin announces the 1st NBR woman at the finish. A PR by 2m (201st overall)
1:33:54
Christophe Tedjasukmana keeps them coming … A PR by 6m (279th)
1:45:21
Carla Clifford (aka CAT/CAPS LOCK) HOVERS through (953rd overall).
1:46:18
Mary Harvey matches her PR despite still recovering from a cold. (1043rd overall)..
At Mile 13….. Oceanna Clifford, honorary NBR, sweats it through a half..but decides that it’s not enough sweating so pushes through to a full marathon…(she finishes at 3:55:16, 914th overall)
Mile 20-24ish.
Todd Zino throws cold water on a very cute Chantel.
Mile 26.2
Mishka, still in her oh-too-cute ensemble cheers Chantel at the finish line. Todd pushing Chantel at the end with a BQ qualifying time. Hell to the YEAH. A 3:34:24 finish (416th overall) and a 13 minute PR.
SCENE 3 SUNDAY:
Mishka finds herself in a second line parade… wearing beads..later consumes beignets and frozen daiquiris…for a 3rd day in a row.
Christophe/ Mary/ honorary NBR David find themselves new careers as grave diggers at St. Louis Cemetery.. sample Pralines at Southern Candymakers. They disco nap at the W hotel, and watch a terrible episode of Cupcake Wars. The guys witness Mary applying Neosporin on her chaffed areas. Wow. What a wound.
Carla sit and graze on Po’boys on a porch in Treme.
Chantodd/ Jerome lead NBR to a dueling piano bar where Todd’s cousin TJ performs. Whippets arrive and (kinda) join us in festivities all the while fighting for Jerome’s attention. We sing Springsteen, Queen, Backstreet Boys, Frank Sinatra, and Johnny Cash and the piano is set on fire (for realzies!!!)
All in all.. an excellent run for NBR. We are all proud of those who PR’ed , BQ’ed, OD’ed (on food that is), and spent a great time in the Big Easy. Consider next years.
-Christophe
Hello NBR World,
What a beautiful morning greets us after a triumphant showing at our first team points race of the season!
We had 81 runners cross the finish line, 24 more than last year, and both our Men’s and Women’s teams improved over last years times! The Men’s team placed 6th overall, improving two spots from last year and trying to keep pace with our incredible Women’s team who took 5th place. Our Men’s Master’s team jumped 12 spots from last year and was 10th overall. Several of our runners showed dedication above and beyond the call of duty to participate yesterday: Alun battled illness to 10th place in age group and score for our Masters Team, Owen traveled down from Boston to help lead our amazing men’s team, and Kate Maxwell rescheduled a flight to California to be at the race and placed first for the women.
NBR garnered tons of Age Group Awards and there were many, many PRs set yesterday. Below is a list of these runners and some other encouraging stats that help show that NBR is the best team out there! Let’s keep the positive results coming and all sign up for the Scotland 10K, the Women’s Mini 10K (women only) and Portugal Day 5M (men scored only).
NBR <3,
-Rob
