Have been training hard (it's been tough lately with our Boston winter weather!) and am hoping for a BQ. Your review was super helpful! Let me know if you have any other tips for this race. Good luck if you're running again this year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722393120560573758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-39331442108097100562015-11-04T08:40:29.775-06:002015-11-04T08:40:29.775-06:00This is such a great post!

Because of your strong cardiovascular system, you noticed the minor details of the race!! What I am saying is that you created your model of the world by being prepared. Like, some folks were confused by the " Traffic" or the " Gatorade First" situation. Could you imagine if this was your second marathon and you had to wait around for 90 minutes in 50 degree weather. Oh the horror!!! <br />I totally dig all the photos, the write up, and hearing you speak your truth!! A huge congrats on the 3:11 and I hope to see some Spring League photos!!! And I leave you with this….. Plan on Colorado!!!<br /><br />Cheers<br />The Padre <br />P.S.

I'm impressed with the race you describe. It's all those little things that add up to a great race! For me, knowing what is water and what is gatorade is very important (nothing worse than chugging a Gu and realizing you passed the water, or thinking you are grabbing calories because you grabbed a green Gatorade cup, but it's just full of water).
