MY TOP 5 MOMENTS OF 2009

5. STAGES 09 Preview (October)
Walking into this room at the Park Avenue Armory that housed six of Lance Armstrong's STAGES 09 bikes. Quite a site.

4. Returning to New Orleans (June)
And eating fried chicken at Willie Mae's Scotch House restaurant. A great meal in a great city.

3. Photographing Elite Athletes (July/August)
Photographing elite athletes for the first time at the NYC Triathlon and NYC Half Marathon. What a rush.

2. Jordan Hall of Fame (September)
Being in the same room with one of my heroes (twice in one day).

1. ATHLETE on Barnes & Noble (December)
Seeing the DVD for ATHLETE on BarnesandNoble.com for the first time at 3 am on a Saturday morning.

NYC HALF MARATHON

Photographed the NYC Half Marathon this morning. My second endurance event in three weeks. Really feels like 2007 all over again. What brought me out to my first NYC Half Marathon was elite runner Paula Radcliffe's last-minute entry into the race.

I've watched Radcliffe on TV many times before, but I've never seen her compete in person (she won three of the five marathons I completed in NYC and London). Boy is she fast. Here she is zipping through Times Square.

In fact, she was so fast, she beat the R train I took from Times Square to the finish at Battery Park in Lower Manhattan. I arrived about 10 minutes after Radcliffe won the race (she averaged 5:19 per mile today). Wow. That really puts her (and the other top finishers') incredible speed in perspective.

Congrats to everyone who crossed the finish today.

JORDAN GATORADE

First it was the desk toy in June, now I've added Michael Jordan limited edition Gatorade to my growing MJ shrine at the office. My favorite sports drink featuring the greatest of all time (and one of my heroes). What could be better?

The collection features six bottles, which capture three different phases of his career ("Then", "Now" and "Forever"). It's being released before Jordan's induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame next month.
