Rym is Running the New York Marathon

The funny thing is I didn’t have my watch tracking the run and didn’t actually know my pace at any given point. I just ran.

That’s probably a good thing. If you were aiming for 2:06 and had a watch to show you were failing to keep that pace, you might have pushed too hard and blown up at 36 km or similar.

What is your water bottle holder?

Honestly I hated it. It was an Amphipod Hydraform Minimalist.

I literally only used it so I could grab water from the tables quickly without stopping and just always have access. On my normal runs I usually wear a hydration reservoir.

But because America is a nation of cowards reservoir bags are banned at all of our major marathons. Explicitly banned because they are a “security risk.” So it was that, an approved “front-mounted water bottle harness” or nothing…

This is insane. Honestly I would never have guessed this was the case but of course it is.
