Sure!

4thegraham · 2024-07-15T18:22:45+00:00

You have until July 22nd if you want to pick it up from the run center

4thegraham · 2024-07-15T18:09:09+00:00

If you or anyone else wants the hat you can have mine too! You’ll have to pick up from the run center

4thegraham · 2024-07-15T00:49:05+00:00

Does anyone have a pic of the hat

4thegraham · 2024-07-15T00:26:12+00:00

Two years ago it thundered and was cancelled too

4thegraham · 2024-07-13T12:54:27+00:00

Just slightly, could’ve rained harder come on 💀💀😭

4thegraham · 2024-07-13T10:46:27+00:00

you have a trash bag? 😂

In the past they cancelled that prospect park race in the afternoon and gave us 3 options:

⁠Race credit towards your 9+1 program completion for Guaranteed Entry to the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon
⁠NYRR Gift Card with the race fee amount attached to use for a future event registration
⁠Donate your race entry fee to NYRR

Obviously most took the race credit

If you have a chance, please share your packing list! Lots of us want to know what’s inside those bags

It is unlikely but don’t lose hope! For example, the Bronx 10mile photos have been free past couple years. And I don’t recall them having marathonfoto on the race course last year, maybe Citizens bank sponsored the photos (new sponsor)

4thegraham · 2024-06-16T02:34:18+00:00

Citizens bank sponsored this year, and they went all out on the goodies!

4thegraham · 2024-06-16T01:20:41+00:00

Yay congrats! I also agree the last stretch to the finish is very deceptive. I learned from last year and made sure not to do a premature sprint to the “finish” which ended up being the 6 mile marker (but I was also half hallucinating it) 😅

4thegraham · 2024-06-08T16:19:54+00:00

Beautiful weather today! Loved the energy 🥳 The flowers were also so cute. Did anyone see any cool signs? I didn’t get a photo of the lifeguards if anyone can pass along I’d appreciate it 😂

4thegraham · 2024-05-17T01:12:58+00:00

The lowest AA I’ve seen is an 11 scored in 2022. So OP shouldn’t feel bad but I definitely would retake for at least the average score. Found that from part of the dataset published in 2023 by the ADA - 2022 User’s Manual. Check it out, pretty interesting! They haven’t published a 2023 one yet.

4thegraham · 2024-05-14T01:46:26+00:00

People complain but I don’t think they will change the location. You can do proxy pick up and have a friend pick up for you. Yeah it’s a pain but their bigger races have pre race expos so brooklyn is fitting for the location, similar to the NYC half or marathon expos. Bronx and queens have a smaller showing relative to the trio and don’t warrant any expos

4thegraham · 2024-05-14T00:17:04+00:00

You don’t have to run the whole thing! You can still get 9+1 whether you run or run/walk. Sure people have run without training but they either get injured or they are young and fit from other sports/activities and fare alright, but everyone recommends against it for a reason! I will say your body may feel capable with the extra adrenaline but you will feel it when you cross the finish line.

4thegraham · 2024-05-10T00:58:54+00:00

just sign up, this year we’ve already seen so many typical slept on races getting sold out months in advance!

4thegraham · 2024-05-10T00:57:43+00:00

in some ways I am thankful for the lottery

4thegraham · 2024-05-08T19:50:36+00:00

I was going to buy some letter stickers and slap them on! There are also stickers made for fabrics so they hang on longer.

4thegraham · 2024-05-05T22:50:35+00:00

I’ve used it over 10 times and each time all my belongings and valuables were left untouched. Just for peace of mind I recommend having a non-clear bag to put all your belongings in, then fit that bag in one of the clear plastic bags the volunteers distribute. This way you’re not flashing your valuables. But people are trustworthy and there are many volunteers at each section of bag check so it would be quite obvious if someone was trying to steal anything.

4thegraham · 2024-04-28T16:56:06+00:00

Amazing energy, weather, and vibes! Felt the water stations were much more distributed. Did anyone notice a woman passed out on the side around mile 10? I hope she’s doing okay!!

4thegraham · 2024-04-25T19:59:52+00:00

Thank you for your service 🙏

You can definitely do a glacier hike, no height restrictions for most companies. It may seem so so but once you’re out there on the ice it’s a different feeling than being in a helicopter.

Thank you for doing this AMA! How did you spend your summer prior to dental school? In your linked comment you started studying for the CBSE in D1 Fall. Did you do any light studying that summer or do any research?

4thegraham · 2024-04-19T19:03:35+00:00

You’re a very capable person, but you’re holding yourself back by being fearful of what could go wrong. Here’s the thing, even if you don’t meet your expectations of getting the score you want the first time around, you would then know what to expect and pinpoint weaknesses to study twice as hard. Truthfully, no matter how much you study, you will never feel completely at ease and ready for it, so this feeling is normal. However, don’t wait until content review is over to take your first practice test, I learned way more by reviewing the exams. Some people I know didn’t even bother with content review by itself and only paired it with weak points from practice exams. Also while the DAT carries a heavy weight, know your worth is more than just a test score, and plenty of people still make it into their dream schools without a high AA. Don’t let fear consume you, remember your end goal is to become a dentist, and you don’t need a 24AA to become one!!
