[reply]3:35!!! Sheesh. Lemme have at'im next! :-)
Good running guys. rroof, did your dad qualify for Boston?[/reply]
Yeah I qualified - sub 3:10 qualifies anyone, even young studs. I only needed a 3:15 at my age. Just checked the results and only 91 guys went under 3 hours! I'm very surprised (I would have assumed 200+ as this is a pretty large race (8,000+ with the 1/2)! It really is a pretty easy course - I think the weather was just too clear last night making the early start really cold and hard to "get going". Turned into a nice day though!
Oops - just saw what what you asked. Tired :) No, my Dad missed Boston by 12 mins and was pretty disappointed. But, he's ready for another anyway!
