I'm in the second wave, on the upper level of the Verrazano Bridge. SCORE! Apparently all 3 waves of the marathon have runners on the upper and lower levels of the bridge at the start, but your color is what determines whether you go over or under the bridge to start. Blue and orange go over and green goes under.
It is wonderfully lucky that I get to start on the upper level for two reasons:
1. Great views at the start of the marathon
2. Apparently people on the top level pee off the side of the bridge, and you could get splashed if you're on the lower level. Ewwww. So many people have warned me about this and I was really really scared that I'd have to add this to my worries on marathon morning.
So I guess 29970 is my new lucky number!
