This is the first time I have ever collapsed at the finish of a race. I started hyperventilating and two volunteers tried to whisk me into the tents. After a few minutes when I caught my breath and my legs I was able to convince them I was fine. The course was by far the hardest I've ever raced on-- amazing views, spectators and despite not bringing my "A game" I had a great race experience! The support and assistance from ING was incredible and their hospitality much appreciated!
This link is to an ASICs recap of the marathon-- again my fall made it in the video (about 60 seconds in, 30seconds in is another MN Erin Block Ward also being escorted from the finish)!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XdMWJKN4Lk&feature=youtu.be

Another personI was very happy to have in New York the entire week I was there! Best tour guide ever- besides getting lost in Central Park every day (thankfully it's really flat there-- this is a lie).... !!
