Just got home from the Pair of Thieves Underwear Run in Central Park! It's an annual kick-off event for the NYC Tri - though it's open to non-Tri participants (such as me). Of all the races I've run - this is the first one I've run in my underwear (boxers to be precise)! It was a lot of fun.
Tony was there and managed to get a shot of me during the race! As for the event itself, the distance was billed as 1.7 miles (the lower loop of the park). That was a bit short because my GPS came up with 1.9 miles (MapMyRun) - and even Strava gave it a solid 1.8 (which, for me, consistently registers shorter distances than MapMyRun).
Whatever the actual distance I managed to squeak in just under 13 minutes (12:55) - which given the 100K last weekend, I consider lightning fast - haha!
At the finish we were given Pair of Thieves fanny packs - which had a coupon for a free pair of underwear. Sweet indeed - but unfortunately the code hasn't worked when I keyed it in and tried to secure that free pair :(
All in all, it was a great time - and I'll definitely go back next year!
