USU east bench loop, 7:44 pace.
my older brother ran a 3:25:06 in Boston. He ran an excellent race, stayed on pace the whole race and finished an easy 5 minutes ahead of his "under 3:30" goal". I am still kind of bummed I didn't get a qualifier in time to get in to Boston last fall. Looks like the weather cooperated, and the wind was also favorable from the weather reports (northwest, 15-20 mph). When I ran it in 2007 it was the year of the big northeasterner and I had to fight a nasty headwind the whole way. oh well, just the luck of the draw. |
