What is there to say about this race that has not already been said.  I must say that for me it was very emotional.  I had the support of my wife and kids as well as my youngest brother Aaron and my mom and dad with me.  The weekend was great.  We were able to site see in Boston, enjoy some down time together and bond.  The people in the Boston area are amazing fans.  Even with the weather the way it was, there were crazy screaming fans the entire way. Definitely worth the hard work and dedication to get here.

 

As for the weeks leading up to the race, like many of you, life had gotten in the way of a perfect training plan.  I felt great until around mile 18 where fatigue was setting in.  Then there was Heartbreak Hill.  Its the real deal.  Below is my garmin info as well as a video.

Congrats on your dream Freyguy! What an amazing experience.

I'm in your video as well! At the 3:10 mark of the vid, I'm in the green singlet just steps ahead of you.... so cool. My day went south at mile 16. The downhills crushed me.
