I agree that doing Boston = bad idea.
you'd be better served by training, a lot, that weekend. A couple of 275+ TSS rides with a fair bit of above IM effort in them.
it's not just running the marathon that will ding you. It's the travel to/from that wipes out a few days of training.
I've just checked into this thread. Based on the numbers you're posting KQ is a long shot. Going to Boston does not stack the odds in your favor.
If it were me and my only shot and I actually cared if I qualified or not, I'd be doing everything I could to stack the odds in my favor. Better to be a 45 to 1 vs a 50 to 1.
