How to run over the Willis Ave Bridge
On Sunday, Oct 25 the Prospect Park Track Club will be running the last 10 miles of the NYC Marathon Course. In the past runners were able to run over the Willis Ave Bridge just like Marathon Sunday (but on the sidewalk). That can not be done anymore. The sidewalk has been removed and replaced with highway ramps from the FDR in Manhattan and the Degan in The Bronx. Nobody should attempt to run on the roadway, it is like a highway.
The ramps on both sides of the bridge have been replaced with staircases. My attempt to document them is below. Please note, I took these pictures on Thursday, Oct 22. Things might change by Oct 25. A member of PPTC who walked over the bridge today will be at our aid station at 125th street on Sunday.
To cross the bridge and resume the NYC Marathon Route follow these instructions.
You must approach the bridge from the left side of First Ave. Go to the left of the bridge
Bear left when you reach the FDR
Go up the stars. They will lead to the bridge and you will cross the Harlem River
After crossing the river you will see this sign. Make a left and god down the stairs
This is the bottom of the stairs. TURN RIGHT AND GO UNDER THE BRIDGE.
AFTER GOING UNDER THE BRIDGE TURN LEFT HERE
Go over the Degan on the foot bridge
After the foot bridge cross the street and turn left. This is what you will see. This resumes the NYC Marathon Course.

reconstruction is your ressurrection
reconstruction is your ressurrection
You've run the course
Spent the chase
Circled the walls of
Drag not yourself into the ashes of Oblivion through overreaching
Rest from contest, dream, awake
And phoenix that you are you will cover yourself
Again
In laurels, not ashes.

THE TURKEY TROT 2009 IS COMING!
THE TURKEY TROT 2009 IS COMING!
Just to be part of a 1500+ runner event is always an amazing experience.
To be on the other side of the event, serving as a volunteer, .is even more amazing!
This is our biggest Club fund raising event of the year. It’s what helps us do all the quality things that help make it worthwhile to be a PPTC member: discount at the Annual Awards dinner, subsidizing race training, the picnic, refreshments at our general memberships meetings, etc.
You can volunteer at pre or post registration and still RUN the race! Or you can be a course marshal, be a greeter, help direct traffic, give out water, hot chocolate, bagels, medals, etc.
Registration starts at 7:30, the race starts at 9, and we have cleaned up everything and gotten out of the park by 11! I am early in meeting with my family in Dutchess County 80 miles away with little or no traffic!
It’s a great way to start Thanksgiving Day no matter what; you start the day off feeling great for either having worked the race and giving back to the sport that has given you so much or having run the race!
We all look forward to being with each other out there.
BE PART OF THE HOOT!
Tom Meany
On Saturday, September 12th, I joined up with the Prospect Park Track Club / Slope Sports people for a group run. When we met, there was the usual chatter. A big chunk of us are running the Reach the Beach Relay in New Hampshire next week. Most of the rest of us are running the Queens Half Marathon. Someone commented that the logistics for a 12 person, point-to=point, 200-mile relay are only slightly more complicated than getting to College Point, Queens, at 7 a.m. on a Sunday by mass transit.
Anyway, it took a moment to come up with a consensus as to where to run. Only a moment until someone said "Let's do the usual thing, ya know - the regular run." Every one knew what that meant.
Let me describe it. Simple. We are starting at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn, run down Union Street to Court St. Make a right and head towards the Brooklyn Bridge. Over the Bridge and across Chambers St to the Hudson and around the Battery and back to the Bridge and back the same way. It is about an 11 mile round trip.
Simple, yea. But let me describe my run on Sept 12. Nothing "regular" about it. First, I did a loop of Prospect Park before I met the group. Along the way, I saw that there was gonna be an event later in the Park to raise money (and awareness) to fight cancer. I hoped it would not rain on them. I remember not caring if it would rain on me. Then I ran into some of my team mates running with some of my daughter’s friend’s parents. I ran a mile with them. I remember thinking that if I lived near Central Park, I would never have seen them; they would have been lost in the crowd.
Then I met the regular group. Not so regular. Many of the regular people were there. Some people who show up irregularly were there and, as usual, there were some new people there. That is what it is regularly like. I was able to keep up with most of the group till 4th Avenue and lost everyone when we got to Atlantic Avenue. That's OK.
When I went past Cadman Plaza, I noticed that there was preparation for some sort of giant event. I figured I would see it on the way back. I did.
When, I crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, I had to maneuver my way past about 20 guys pushing and pulling some sort of contraption. They gave me some literature. It turned out it was parts of a rowboat that will attempt to cross the Atlantic. They were actually attempting to break the record for the most names written on a rowboat. Really.
Also on the Brooklyn Bridge I notice a huge amount of police boats in the East River. I sadly assumed that they were there because it was "Sept 11th weekend." I was wrong. Get to that later.
When I got to Manhattan I heard my name being called. I saw one of my team mates in a MTA vest coming out of the subway. He is repairing the trench under Broadway from Chambers Street to Canal Street. That is why the R train takes the Bridge on weekends.
The Hudson River was very busy. There was a giant modern war ship with a Dutch flag on it as well as lots of old sail boats. This weekend we are celebrating the 400th anniversary of the founding of New Amsterdam. Would made a nice photo
Then, as I turned the corner at the southern end of Manhattan, I saw the stacks of the cruise ship Caribbean Princess over the trees on Governors Island. I was really missing my camera there.
Then in Battery Park I watched them set up for another event. The Diamond Dash.
On my return to the Brooklyn Bridge I found out why there were so many police in the water. There were also many kayaks. People were swimming in it. They were swimming from the little patch of sand under the Brooklyn Bridge on the Manhattan side to the little beach on the Brooklyn side that my kids played in just a few weeks ago. I asked a women who was queued up to jump into the East River how far it is to the other side. She said it was a kilometer. I told her "That's beautiful," and went on with my run.
But then my run had to take a detour. I saw that the pedestrian path on the Brooklyn Bridge was packed - packed with people marching to the event I had seen being set up in Cadman Plaza. I decided to add some miles and cut through Chinatown and take the Manhattan Bridge. (The pedestrian path on the Manhattan Bridge makes for much better running than the one on the Brooklyn Bridge. It is separated from bicycles and only the hearty tourists are up there. But, alas, it is not the Brooklyn Bridge.) From the Manhattan Bridge I got a great view of the swimmers. They looked so tiny. Again, I missed my camera. Sadly, one of the swimmers did not make it to Brooklyn.
As a train was roaring past me on the Manhattan Bridge one of my teammates said “Hi” to me. I had no idea she was running along side of me and she startled me. I told her she scarred the poop out of me. That is kinda funny. She is one of the smallest adults I know and probably does not frighten many people.
Then I got back to Cadman Plaza and saw what was going on. It was the A&E Recover Project. I was not sure if "recover" referred to the economy, the fact that it was September 12 or something else. It turns out it was something else. It was about National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. Smoky Robinson was there. If you click on the link you will see how crowded the Brooklyn Bridge was. Good thing I took the Manhattan Bridge.
I did not go back the same way. I went over to The Promenade so I could check out the progress on the Brooklyn Bridge Park. It is coming along nicely.
Then I ran back via Carroll Street and the Carroll St Bridge.
So, the regular run is not so plain or so simple.

New Beginners Workshop!
This Fall, our Beginners Workshop will be extended to 6 weeks, starting on Saturday October 24th thru December 5th. (No session on 11/28) The group will meet at 8 AM, on the sidewalk at Grand Army Plaza. It will again be conducted by Gil Torres in collaboration with Slope Sports, and we’ll be featuring guest coaching from some of our top runners. Content will focus on gradual development, stressing good form, planning, adapting effort to terrain, and giving you the tools to start a good running program. The sessions are free and open to adult PPTC members and non-members. No reply necessary.
THE INSIDE LOOP TOM BYRNES and FRIENDS
THE INSIDE LOOP
TOM BYRNES and FRIENDS
PPTC extends our deepest sympathies to Al Goldstein and family on the death of Norma Rodriguez. Please keep Norma and her children and family in your thoughts and prayers.
At September’s general meeting there were questions from members about hooking up for rides to races, finding out about local races, and even the ‘’last ten miles of the marathon’‘ PPTC run the week before. Seems to many of us that if we use the PPTC open forum group and post what we want more info about, there’s someone sitting at their desk (who probably should be working instead) who will make the sacrifice and respond. Although not originally part of Obama’s economic recovery plan, the PPTC Open Forum Group site does provide PPTCers with the inspiration and motivation to make it through the rest of the work day and abandon plans to take this job and shove it . This is as interactive as PPTC gets these days, so hey, "" read ‘em and weep !" ( if you missed out because you don’t use PPTC Open Forum )
Tom Byrnes, Bobby Fisher, and Joanne and Mark Guralnick were off and biking at September’s NYC Century on Sunday September 13th. with Bobby completing the full century and Tom, Joanne, and Mark logging less. Joann and Mark actually volunteered and stayed at the Triborough Bridge area . Some PPTCers who regularly bike as part of their cross-training passed claiming that the ride was too close to Thanksgiving and would affect their energy levels for preparing the Thanksgiving dinner or doing some early Christmas shopping or some other invalid excuse.......
The PPTC betting pool for when the YMCA’s facilities at 15th street Armory will actually see the light of day continues to fill up as friends and members alike continue to wonder, hope, and pray that someday, somehow, this indoor track in our own hood will open ! Next up, after wondering just when it will open, is just how much the Y will charge members alike to use the place. Down the road will be another wagering opportunity for the completion date of the new pool facility behind the YMCA building on the 8th street side. The construction start date for that project was supposed to be this past September 1st but so far, as of mid-September, not a shovel of sand has been moved.
Congrats to ‘’No Sleep Till Brooklyn’‘, one of the PPTC-sponsored teams at the Reach the Beach 207 mile team relay race the third weekend in September .- they won the women's open division, averaging 8 minutes a mile for the 207-mile relay race!! The other PPTC-sponsored team, Better on the Way Down, broke 30 hours and had a blast. Conditions were great for the race - little bit of rain in the early going , but clear skies at night and not too cold.
The race started on Friday, September 18th at Cannon Mountain in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and finished on Saturday, September 19th at Hampton Beach on the Atlantic Ocean.Along the way our runners passed by NH's tallest mountain and largest lake and encountered many, many miles of scenic, rolling hills! Krishna even got to get some NH rain on his head!Look for Amy D's full article, complete with pics, about this adventure in the centerfold !
Thanks to PPTC’s Natacha Ferrari and twin sister Sandy volunteered with USADA for drug testing athletes at the Fifth Avenue Mile races Saturday September 26th. Check the race results section of this newsletter to see how PPTC runners performed on the Fifth Avenue strip , PPTC makes it happen!
Sorry to learn of Jessica Kavoulakis’ achilles injury putting her out of this year’s NYC. Jessica did the great job of co-directing Turkey Trot ‘08. Evelyn Deliz's knee problems have been keeping her walking instead of running but she still loves getting out on the roads.
Bobby Fisher completed the 75 mile Twin Lights ride in Monmouth New Jersey on Saturday the 26th of September. Not a ride for those who get seasick since believe it or not since getting to the start involved a ferry ride from the South Street Seaport to Monmouth New Jersey which could’ve made the weak of stomach inclined to recycle whatever hadn’t been digested from the night before’s dinner.
