Notes
121st Boston Marathon. Very warm with temperature in the mid-60's and a tailwind most of the way. Ran well considering the conditions. Was happy to break 4 hours. Was still able to run a reasonably strong pace in the latter part of the race after the Newton hills. Best Boston ever in terms of how I felt - middle time for the three. If it had been just a bit cooler probably would have had 10 minutes better because I would have only stopped at every other aid station. As it was I walked through every one of them except mile 25. I took a gel before the race and at 5, 10, 16 and 21 miles. I took Gatorade at most of the aid stations along with water. Water only with gels and when I felt like I'd had a little too much Gatorade. Beat my number by quite a bit!
