So, Nancy did want all the irrigation turned on, right? I think Fluff got busy when our back was turned. You can grow rice in Madras, right?

No rice growing here. It kept sprinkling for just a few seconds and I kept hoping the clouds would burst and I could come in but no luck. I finished the field up and I'm just checking results now.

Nice Michele! You do have the ability to run even splits that's for sure. And a good amount of knowledge and experience on the course.

How many times have you run Boston? Do you have a streak going?

And thanks to Doug as well...it was a fun read after my long day in the tractor.

Michele, fantastic splits - you continue to amaze me.

Michael, way to go! 2nd place is awesome!!!

He was bleeding some time throughout the race until the 30K split at 4:30 projected, then it looks like he settled in for the last 8 miles. I'm pretty sure all of the knee pain in the past year was worth this moment.
20,382 overall and 746 in AG.

Ounce,
Thanks for doing this. Yup, I was bleeding pretty good from about mile 10 on but since I had come to grips before the race with just finishing, it was all good. The combination of the temps and the course took it's toll on my undertrained legs but the last couple of miles were WAY cool. Mile 26 was actually my fastest and that was due to crowds 8-10 deep on both sides of the street.
