The most wonderful time of the year! Go Eric!

Looks like he finished under 4:50

Or his tracker broke at the 25.99 mile marker. He was moving right along until then.

Unofficial 4:53:52

The web tracker has him starting with a later group at 11:30 and still out there.

Two guys with similar names.

Eric is a 62 year old from Queens, NY.

Ran under Bib #11778 this year / #10498 last year /

Erik didn't run last year. Bib# 60953. High numbers are for newbies.

I'm sure he'll post here later.

Ah! Got it. I know Eric well, but was looking at someone with the same name but different spelling. Congrats, nycfan !

Tell us about it. My favorite class in high school was when the Earth Science teacher spent the whole class talking about his day-before NYC marathon experience! Now that was a passionate class, that day! I did run Philadelphia marathon a couple years in a row. Not 34 years in a row! That's some streak!

Thank you all for the nice posts again this year -- I always appreciate it! It was a bit of a struggle in the 2nd half of the race this year. Heading in to the race I was thinking it was going to be a great weather day for the runners, mainly because all those 30+ mph winds from earlier in the week were gone. What I didn't factor in was the sun -- there was not a single cloud the entire day. So although the high in NYC got to about 60, it actually felt like 70 with the sun beating down all day (for nearly 5 hours in the race). I went through the halfway point at a 4:14 pace, but obviously the race went downhill after that. But always a fun day in the city seeing friends and family at various locations along the course (as well as post-race). And a shoutout to SUMBA, who attended both the race and post-race celebration.

As I mentioned last year, the NYRR tracks the "Streakers" on their website (runners with 15+ marathons). Every year I usually move up a couple spots because of runners that can't do it anymore (or at least this year). So for the first time I have cracked the top-25 -- specifically I am one of 25 runners in the world that have run at least 34 consecutive NYC Marathons (there are 3 of us tied for 23rd).

Not all heroes wear capes. Awesome Eric!

I'm with you on the sun. The sun makes all the difference and too hot is too hot.

Incredible job Eric, congrats!

Regardless of weather, anyone who’s done NYCM knows it’s a tough course that beats the hell out of you.

To have a long streak of excellence as Eric has had is beyond impressive.
