You all are of course free to make whatever sort of race you want of this, but this schedule may help: 3:45 a.m. - I may perhaps be at the Finish line of the Boston Marathon to send off those doing the double. 3:50 a.m. - The rest of us meet at Back Bay. 4:06 a.m. - Train leaves Back Bay station for Framingham. 4:40 a.m. - Train arrives at Framingham. I'll be running to Hopkinton and turning around. 9:00 a.m. - Mobility Impaired start of the marathon. 9:17 a.m. - Handcycle start. Expect a finish time of 1:20, meaning that 10:37 a.m. - You need to be off the course, even if you see the finish line. 11:00 a.m. - Procure beverages and treats. Sit down to watch the elites! later - email in your results and funny stories. • One runner will be starting from Athletes' Village at 6 a.m. You have to figure out how to get there on your own, and would need to run under a 4:30 pace in order to be done in time if you try this, but it would be a much more accurate way to experience the course in preparation for when you finally qualify! |
