Agreed. Looks like the rain stopped just before the race, but still wet on the roads, I would imagine.

Thanks.

Because I can't find the 2018 tracking thread, here is a comparison between 2017 and 2019.

Michael Young
2019 - 2:56:00, 2nd in division, 1,819 overall
2017 - 3:00:34, 2nd in AG, 1,501 overall
I guess Michael should walk Augusta every year.

Schuey
2019 - 3:13:20
2017 - 3:03:49

Michele
2019 - 3:49:56, 109th in division
2017 - 3:47:26

Gobbles
2019 - 4:04:47
2017 - 3:23:32

Fostever
2019 - 4:07:52
2017 - 3:55:29

Gratz to all. Now, start thinking about 2020.

Found 2018 hiding in Race Reports and inseted the times that I found in Doug's post

Nice job everyone! You represented out little group well!! Looked like much nicer weather this year after a bit of confusion before the start.

It was a bit hectic here this morning so I wasn't able to watch the race unfold as much as I would have liked. I did pop in occasionally for an update and was able to catch both the men's and women's finish. Pretty exciting. USA didn't do to bad.

ounce Wed Apr 17, 2019 10:22 am

Thanks for finding the '18 times, Nancy!

Mark B Thu Apr 18, 2019 10:07 am

Nice running out there, guys! And thanks to those who tracked y'all during the event.

(But really: How does Micheal just keep getting faster every year? Seriously impressive!)

fostever Thu Apr 18, 2019 11:20 pm

Thanks for carrying, most of my family doesn't Razz

Had hamstring injury in Feb. with 6 weeks to go, then 10 days off, was able to due minimal training after that so just had a solid 18 long run then some walk run walk walk. Love the experience every time, everybody's all in: athletes, officials, workers, spectators! What a team event!! Next year 2020 Boston will be my 20th Marathon and maybe just half's after that! ha ha

Michele "1L" Keane Fri Apr 19, 2019 2:43 pm

Thanks all for following along. Weather turned out to be humid and warm about the time I started and the sun came out in full force through most of the race. I was not really prepared for the warm temps especially since it was torrential rain when I boarded the bus and it was still a bit overcast and only about 60 when we started. Of course, the sun broke through when I was around mile 3 and then it began to "sprinkle" when I was crossing the finish line only to rain hard when I was walking back to my hotel. I'm very pleased with my race even though I folded in the last couple of miles.

Well done! Glad you were able to enjoy the race in spite of your injury.

Best of luck for Boston next year. And then enjoy your "retirement".

Tim C Sat Apr 27, 2019 9:45 pm

Congrats to everyone that ran - well done.

Michele, you are amazing. I've run 6 marathons and only one did I train for and run well. CIM in 2015 I ran 3:49 which got me my BQ. You run 3:49, ho-hum, pretty much at will.

Michael, as I said in my text, I'm super impressed. I cannot run 1/2 mile downhill at the pace you run 26.2 miles at. Makes me shake my head... nice job...
