After '08's roof-top marathon party's success, we didn't hesitate for '09. Mile-marker 17 is right in in front of 1352 1st Ave, so as long as you could get to the east side of the street before the race got heavy, our roof was the place to be. Beer + BBQ + Brotha Sean = Boo-ya!
The view is great, covering over a mile span of the race up 1st Ave.
The lead women's pack had striking similarities to the year before.
But I was really looking forward to seeing Zoe, who was running despite having a broken foot several months earlier (this is the same girl who hosted a marathon after-party at her apartment the year before, and was as bouncy and cheerful as usual, despite having just ran 26 miles). I had my camera ready, perched 50 feet up, but after the race got heavy it seemed nearly impossible to catch her. Fortunely, McGee had the eye and spotted her in time to let me get a shot of her right as she looked up at us. Score!
Here is some jammin down on the street by Andy et al.
Looking up 1st Ave during the peak. They've all been running for 17 miles at this point.
Here are some more shots on my flickr. Y'all should come next year.
