Ha Haaaaaa!
At seven places along the New York City Marathon course, just past someone holding a large sign reading Run Rinzin Rinzin Run.
The top 40 men n women in the marathon are allowed a perk that does not exist for the other 42000 participants. They can mix their own liquid concoctions, place them in seven self -decorated bottles, hand them to race organizers the day before, and be energy boost will be waiting for them at an assigned spot on an assigned table every 5 KM or so.Its a lots of preparation for 2mins of chaos, said Joe Tringali, who oversees the so-called elite-fluids operation.
Most major marathons provide such a service. But few, if any do it as well as New York, athletes said.
Mr. Keflezighi is first American man to win race since Salazar. He was awarded Gold medal.
Mr. Rinzin Rinzin was one of several American striving to break the race, but he represented the Bhutan more than any of them.
He completed on Pro Run time and was awarded medal and certificate.
over few thousands Athletes who have completed marathon on given time awarded medal.
It all started with barely a whisper in 1970 with 127 runners in central Park. We’ve run through good times and bad. But we’ve always kept running . This year, we celebrate our 40th Marathon Day. the event’s still as young and fresh as it was in 1970, yet its bigger and bolder.
we had over 40,000 participants across the country and the world. we the management of NYRR team welcome BHUTAN this year.
This year we received over 7,209,3400.00 we limited upto 40,000.
we had difficulty time to select among many.
but this marathon has never about the numbers, its been about the heart and soul of USA and heart and soul of our Athletes. About the ability to overcome odds, to bounce back from adversity, to prevail- no matter how challenging that may be.
Mr. Rinzin Rinzin Bhutan represent BHUTAN well. i like your speech of GNH very much. AMAZING.
On behalf of all of us at NYRR, congratulation for receiving medal for completing on Pro Run time (four hour).
See you next year 2010.

FOR STARS WITH A CAUSE, PAIN IS WORTH IT.
WE R PROUD OF Rinzin Rinzin. u r GREAT.
we love you.
Rinzin Rinzin, was one of the several Americans striving to break the race but he represented the BHUTAN more than any of them.
while he was receiving medal he said in gathering ‘ It was a great day for me and a great day for us Bhutan guys”, I think we are only the start of it.
He dropped to the ground, tears streaming down his face, when he completed 26 miles in 4 hours.
Mr. Kelflezighi was the first American man to win race since Salazar in 1982. He was awarded Gold medal. he completed 26miles in 2:9:15
It all stared with barely a whisper in 1970 with 127 runners in Central Park. We have run through good times and bad. but we ‘ve always kept running. This year, we celebrate our 40th World Class Marathon. The event’s still as young and fresh as it was in 1970, yet its bigger and bolder.
we received hundred thousands of application from all over the world but we limited seat upto 40,000 this year. Indeed it was difficult to select from many.
But this marathon has never been about the number. its been about the heart and soul of USA and heart and soul of our athletes. About the ability to overcome odds, to bounce back from adversity, to prevail_no matter how challenging that may be.
On behalf of all of us at New York Road Runners welcome BHUTAN.

The ING NYC Marathon is the last of 12 events make up the 2008-2009 World Marathon Majors (WMM) series, the third two-year cycle since the WMM’s inception in 2006. As always, the series includes the world’s five most prestigious annual marathons; besides New York, they are the Boston Marathon, the Virgin London Marathon, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, and the real -Berlin Marathon. The WMM also includes any Olympic or IAAF World Championships marathon that fall within the two-year-span, and thus the 2008-2009 series incorporates the 2008 Beijing Olympic Marathons and the 2009 IAAF World Championships Marathon.
The name Marathon comes from the legend of Pheidippides, a Greek messenger. The legend states that he was sent from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce that the Persians had been defeated in the Battle of Marathon (in which he had just fought), which took place in August or September, 490 BC. It is said that he ran the entire distance without stopping and burst into the assembly, exclaiming “Νενικήκαμεν” (Nenikékamen, ‘We have won.’) before collapsing and dying. The account of the run from Marathon to Athens first appears in Plutarch’s On the Glory of Athens in the 1st century AD which quotes from Heraclides Ponticus’s lost work, giving the runner’s name as either Thersipus of Erchius or Eucles.Lucian of Samosata (2nd century AD) also gives the story but names the runner Philippides (not Pheidippides).
There is debate about the historical accuracy of this legend.The Greek historian Herodotus, the main source for the Greco-Persian Wars, mentions Pheidippides as the messenger who ran from Athens to Sparta asking for help, and then ran back, a distance of over 240 kilometres each way.In some Herodotus manuscripts the name of the runner between Athens and Sparta is given as Philippides. Herodotus makes no mention of a messenger sent from Marathon to Athens, and relates that the main part of the Athenian army, having already fought and won the grueling battle, and fearing a naval raid by the Persian fleet against an undefended Athens, marched quickly back from the battle to Athens, arriving the same day.
In 1876, Robert Browning wrote the poem “Pheidippides”. Browning’s poem, his composite story, became part of late-19th century popular culture and was accepted as a historic legend.

After a marathon,
Marathon participation may result in various medical, musculoskeletal, and dermatological complaints. Delayed onset muscle soreness is a common condition affecting runners during the first week following a marathon.[55] Various types of mild exercise or massage have been recommended to alleviate pain secondary to DOMS. Dermatological issues frequently include “jogger’s nipple”, “jogger’s toe”, and blisters.
The immune system is reportedly suppressed for a short time. Changes to the blood chemistry may lead physicians to mistakenly diagnose heart malfunction.
After long training runs and the marathon itself, consuming carbohydrates to replace glycogen stores and protein to aid muscle recovery is commonly recommended. In addition, soaking the lower half of the body for 20 minutes or so in cold or ice water may force blood through the leg muscles to speed recovery.
Most participants do not run a marathon to win. More important for most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their specific gender and age group, though some runners just want to finish. Strategies for completing a marathon include running the whole distance and a run-walk strategy. An intermediate approach is to run from water stop to water stop, and walk through the water stop area to ensure the fluids are consumed instead of spilled. In 2009, the average marathon time in the U.S. was 4 hours 32 minutes 8 seconds for men, 5 hours 6 minutes 8 seconds for women.
Another goal people can aim for is to break certain time barriers. For example, recreational first-timers often try to run the marathon under four hours; more competitive runners may attempt to finish under three hours. Other benchmarks are the qualifying times for major marathons. The Boston Marathon, the oldest marathon in the United States, requires a qualifying time for all non-professional runners.[36] The New York City marathon also requires a qualifying time for guaranteed entry, at a pace slightly faster than Boston’s. A qualifying time is also needed for Washington D.C.’s National Marathon. However, unlike Boston, where the qualifying times serve to attract a more talented field and limit participation, the National Marathon is motivated more by the need to reopen city streets in a limited amount of time.
