Forums >Off the Beaten Path>The whole Boston jacket thing
SELFISH, like you.
I'm starting to think I need a Boston jacket for cycling.
What! The 10 million page thread on the subject did not deter you?
FB and RA unite.... Nope, this thread did not deter me. Ordered my jacket today.

Just for the ignorant amongst us (such as myself), who are these guys?
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

Dude on the left is "The Sam Adams guy". (Jim Koch)
Dude on the right is some guy who used to run NYCM and Boston. Bill something.
And once again Mr. Wizard (aka: Stevie Ray) explains the internet.
Bill Rodgers? (Seriously, if I knew what he looked like, I wouldn't be asking.)
Wait, I can't wear cycling kit when I run? My Gore jacket set me back -- I'm wearing that thing everywhere!
So did my Sidi's, but I do remove the cleats. Suckers are slippery.
Yeah, I'd recognize that spaced-out face anywhere. One of the things I love about the guy.
I bought that intense jacket. No one will shoot me accidentally during deer season if I'm wearing it, right?

So Mainiacs shoot runners and run over writers. Does that sound correct?

I was wearing my jacket Wednesday night, walking home from the subway after work when an older guy (early 60s maybe?) approached me and and asked if I ran Boston or just had the jacket.
I said I ran in 2011 and will again in 2013 and he started to tell me all about his love for running and years trying to qualify for Boston, getting closer and closer. He was really excited to talk about it and made my 10 minute walk home really nice.
I don't think he thought I was a douche.

Yeah, if you're wearing it not for the purpose of exhibiting your superiority, but rather as a conversation starter, I think it's excellent.

This makes sense to me
Either the Boston Marathon is special to you or it's not. Most people that have worked hard to finally qualify it is special. Some people who could qualify everytime find it special. The people who do not feel it is special to them are not as interested. I am not saying the race is not special (History + I understand why it is special to millions) ... Its just not special to me personally - So no jacket.
This gentelman definately considers the race special to him.

First 50 mi
Do they really run out? I didn't want to buy one now in case I don't like it close up, I figured I could get one on race day.
Did I miss why Perry is now flat?
