Annie Bersagel and Kara Goucher both finished in the 2:30s at the TCSNYC Marathon on a windy, cold day in the Big Apple.  Bersagel finished tenth in 2:33:02.  Goucher 14th in 2:37:03. Top finisher's results are HERE. "I went for it, hoping the leaders would shield the wind. It was too much and I suffered," Goucher tweeted after the race. "Thank you all for giving me the strength to finish...I got a little in over my head. It was really windy and I hit the wall for the first time in my career."

10th place and 2nd US at #TCSNYCMarathon in windy conditions. Never looked at watch and felt strong through finish. I❤️NYC
