In for this year. Weather shaping up nicely: low 30s to mid-40s with a bit of tailwind - should reward smart pacing. Aiming for 3-ish or slightly under.
Who’s in? Goal times / waves?

I almost cannot believe how good this weather is looking. Im worried I’ll jinx it by saying that but I’ll be there in wave 1 corral 6 looking for about a 2:53 or faster!

My only other time at Boston was 2024 and it was just this side of a little too warm. If the forecast can hold up, those temps are just perfect. Wave 5/Corral 3; bless the BQ standard for over 60’s!
Best of luck to all running..

In for the second year. Wave 4 corral 2. Have a loose goal time in mind but picked up a few niggles within the last long run and subsequent training weeks so I keep telling myself that’s it’s just another run and to go have fun. Feel like naming a time goal will jinx things. Very excited while also trying to contain the nerves. Hope everyone has a great race!

Weather looks perfect for a super fast day, mid 40’s and decent tailwind. I wouldn’t be surprised if a pro tries to go sub 2.
Hope everyone had a great race. Felt like they added some more downhills this year! Will be plenty of airport hobbling.

I’m still sore today. I definitely didn’t prepare properly for those hills. Spent the final 10k hobbling downhill even though my heart and head wanted to speed up.
2:55 high here
Sorry to hear about the soreness. I’m managing ok but definitely seem to have exasperated a few niggles. Such a fun day, but man the downhill really adds up.
Also, congrats on the sub 3 time! That’s a dream for one day. Came in at 3:11, a 7 minute PR from last year, but I too wish I could have pushed the last 10k a bit harder. Ah well, next year.
