I’ve qualified 5x, even qualified There. Only ran Boston once. If you are looking for an awesome marathon do it. Why haven’t I went since, it is expensive and I would rather do IMs.
I have qualified in all but one marathon in my career (over 25 marathons including my IM races).
Have no desire to sit outside to wait for the start of a race hours ahead of time. Some day I’ll do it, but not for another few years. Have to get all the triathlon stuff out of my system :>)
I qualified at my very first marathon (when I was in college).
I didn’t know anything about the race or qualification at the time.
I haven’t really been close to qualifying since.
Thats why im not doing it, I have qualified, but it seems that IMAZ is always too near the same time, I would also rather do IMs, considering the travel costs etc.
