I meant for the HR runners we had. Jesse, DVC, Audio, etc. Others probably go in the RACES forum I guess? I haven't really checked much to be honest.
Patience. Let the dudes get home, get through a day of work, then get home, ignore the wife and kids so they can write their reports for us. They're coming! I just know it! --Jimmy P.S. I was following Jesse as I do every time he runs Boston (they have a great tracking system). He had a 1:35:20/1:43:12.....3:18:32.

I had a great experience running my first Boston Marathon, though I was mildly disappointed with my performance. I'll definitely have a lengthy race report posted sometime tomorrow, but in the meantime, here are the stats: 1:36:23 / 1:39:36 = 3:15:59 (re-qualified by one freakin' second!) Splits and AHR: 1. 7:32 (172) . . . . . 10. 7:24 (180) . . . . . 19. 7:33 (184) 2. 7:17 (167) . . . . . 11. 7:23 (181) . . . . . 20. 7:41 (187) 3. 7:13 (170) . . . . . 12. 7:17 (179) . . . . . 21. 7:56 (190) 4. 7:22 (169) . . . . . 13. 7:21 (182) . . . . . 22. 7:30 (183) 5. 7:20 (177) . . . . . 14. 7:21 (182) . . . . . 23. 7:50 (184) 6. 7:18 (174) . . . . . 15. 7:29 (184) . . . . . 24. 7:29 (187) 7. 7:26 (173) . . . . . 16. 7:20 (179) . . . . . 25. 7:44 (187) 8. 7:20 (177) . . . . . 17. 7:31 (187) . . . . . 26. 7:40 (190) 9. 7:18 (177) . . . . . 18. 7:43 (187) It's nothing but MAF from here on out.
I had to fly back home right after the race, then I flew to Netherlands the next day. I have very limited internet (and any other communications for that matter) access here, so I'll deal with such matters when I get back. In short, I knew at mile 4 that I did not want to be running, so I just took it easy. Too much left in me from the 50 miler the previous weekend. Still enjoyed the race. Avg HR was 166, 6 beats lower than my "pushing it" marathon heart rate. You can probably pull up my race profile from jesseleitner.motionbased.com, where you'll see little heart rate blips where I would pick it up, high five it on both sides, then cut it back after the crowd.
Congrats on the BQ!
Why are you disappointed? What was your goal time?
3 minutes of slowing in the second half isn't too bad at all. Not a blow-up.
