The Long Island Marathon

Despite gusty winds and cool -- if not downright cold -- temperatures for a sunny Sunday morning in May, the 35th edition of the Long Island Marathon was held in Nassau County. Among the more than 3,000 runners in the Half-Marathon were more than a few from the Huntington Masters Swim (and Tri) Team. I wish I could tell you exactly how many, but I went nearly blind just finding the results for Harry and Greg (see below). Isn't that the smallest type you've ever seen in Newsday? Ah well, just email me any new/revised results, and I'll be glad to post them... I just don't think I can find them!
