Josh Einiger profiles Rome Layken who has been training for months for this year's TCS NYC Marathon in the hand cycle competition.For the tens of thousands participating in the marathon, the road just to the starting line is impossibly long.
"So I woke up in Elmhurst and they told me I didn't have legs well they didn't have to tell me I could just see it and feel it," he explained. For Rome, who wasn't much of an athlete before, it meant borrowing a hand bike from Achilles International and building up strength.
