WESTCHESTER, N.Y. More than 50 Westchester County runners took on the challenging course of the legendary Boston Marathon Monday and finished the race despite the heat and difficult conditions.
Hartsdales Brian Wilantowicz, a physical therapist at Bronxvilles Lawrence Hospital, took on the 80-degree plus race temperature and ran a respectable 3:24.29.
We were dousing ourselves with water even before the race started, Wilantowicz said. I knew it wasn't going to be a day for a personal best and I just paced myself. I learned from 2004 when the temperature was 86 degrees; I had hard time finishing that year.
Jonathan Frieder of Hartsdale was one of the top Westchester finishers, running the course in a sparkling 2:50.05, while Sleepy Hollows Timothy Kuklis recorded a 2:54.17 and Irvingtons John Carron ran the race in 2:55.34.
Cathrine Wolden of Pound Ridge was a one of the top Westchester women to finish, running the course in 3:02.29.
