Well, the race is actually on a Saturday :)
We made reservations for the weekend at a HIX in Brooklyn. Having never been there before, we aren't familiar at all with the transportation options, etc. First time to a race is always an adventure!
As bad luck would have it, there was a PGA event being held very close in location to the half-marathon last weekend. Even though one of the newspapers in town was a sponsor of the skating event, I never did see any coverage in the paper -- although…

The original May 31st discount-priced registration deadline is fast approaching, although I'm not sure if there are any early registration discounts for the revised event. Since I can't seem to figure out how to enroll for the two separate skating e…
