Non-Stroller-Still Crazy
Just select age range up to 100 and it shows the total number. mta: assuming nobody over 100 years has registered.
Last year it amazed me that it closed when it did. I had just registered, and figured I was in plenty of time. But I just barely made it.
Runners run
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't recall Boston filling up before, at all, in the previous times I've run it (2005, 2006, or 2007). I have noticed that over the past 4 years the place you get for a given time has moved steadily farther back. More and more people are BQing. This year I would expect it would fill up earlier than last year.
I wonder... if this trend continues, maybe they should tighten up the BQ times? That would piss off a lot of people, no doubt, but today's times are much more lenient than they used to be. And it's looking like they could still get a lot of entrants even if they tightened up the times by, say, 5 min.
Hey man. Hold that thought for one more year. Please.
You targeting a particular race to get in? Want a pacer?
I keep having to put it off for non-running related reasons (it was Surf City, then Yakima), but currently Fargo with SD rnr as a backup. Appreciate the offer, but I'm going to try to do it Han Solo.
