SueW Thrilled to qualify for this race. It would be nice to run well but in truth I'd sooner be slightly under trained and run a competent race than really push the miles, pick up an injury and miss it completely. It is my main focus for the Spring tho. ** Update** Still targetting 4 hours as my race time. I'll give that a good go, but I'd be stunned if I ran a pb. **Update** Marvellous event. Warmer than forecast by the time I started at around 10:35 and stayed warm. I started with 4 hour pacing and stuck to it till about 18 miles when I faded away. Best support in a race ever. Well worth doing if you ever get the chance.

Sweaty Frank I've not experienced anything comparable to Boston. Here is a noteworthy observation...THE ROUTE IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT LOOKS ON PAPER. (Yes, I was shouting that.) The early downhills work your quads over, but at that point in the race, you are not conscious of it. That'll come later. I had planned to run the first half faster, taking advantage of the downhills, and putting some time in the bank in case my knee and/or Achilles went bad through the hills. After the first few miles, I was two minutes off my planned pace, due entirely to the tightly packed field of runners. Eventually, I had a little elbow room and I made up that lost time fast, too fast it turns out. By the half, I was four minutes ahead of my planned time for the half, at a pace that would have had me 8 minutes ahead of my projected finish. Sirens and flashing light should have been going off in my head, but instead, I though,
