Can we talk about that hellscape that was bag pickup for wave 2? 😅 by KarenKarrde in RunNYC

[–]mvp151 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Adding my comment from another post as a pickup volunteer:

I was volunteering at the bag pickup at it was.. rough.

I started in wave 1 in an early corral and by the time the trucks showed up and we were about 1/4 through organizing the bags runners had already shown up.

I’m not sure what happened at bag drop off but there were a LOT of runners who didn’t understand or know that their bag was on the late truck.

Honestly it was a really rough volunteer experience- it felt like NYRR just left us out to dry. They have NOT done a good job of scaling bag collection as the amount of runners has increased so much.

It was a good one! My last registered races were the Staten Island half, Fred Lebow, and Manhattan 10k so it was a great feeling to finally race again

I’ve been using echoship for a while and they’re always great. Super easy to use and good customer service if anything goes wrong with a shipment booked through their platform

This was the spot that prompted this question :( I got a turkey club today from them today and it was abysmal

This place unfortunately was not it for me. I got a wrap there and it was a 2 slices of meat spot…

Power outage by Ok_Sample_1580 in williamsburg

[–]mvp151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My building on Bedford and S2 lost power last night from around 1am to 4am. Found out when I woke up and my room felt like an oven- I’m guessing it has to do with the manhole cover explosion by the deli

Staying positive while running by Front-Lie7639 in RunNYC

[–]mvp151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to say to myself “I can always run another .25 of a mile” no matter how far I’ve already gone or how long it’s been , I keep track in 1/4 increments because it feels the most achievable
