3 Run S.M.A.R.T. Athletes Compete in NYC Marathon Tune-Up

Joe Kenny Swift led the way yesterday on the grueling 18 mile course around Central Park three times. Joe Kenny, otherwise known as the "Hoboken Sniper" for his uncanny ability to run negative splits and clean up the field over the second half of the race; finished 10th overall in a time of 1:48:41 (6:02 per mile). Joe was out in 7:00 for his first mile and after 3 miles he averaged roughly 5:55 pace the rest of the way. This was an excellent effort to prepare for the Philadelphia Marathon in late November.

Denise Fergus was 47th female overall finishing in a time of 2:18:38 (7:42 per mile). Denise is also preparing for the Philadelphia Marathon in November. This effort on the rolling hills in Central Park will play nicely for the flat course in Philly.

Tina Reine set a new personal record, running 18 miles for the first time in her life. She finished in 2:48 minutes. Tina is preparing for her first marathon, NYC in 4 weeks.
