    Boston Marathon

    New record of 2:05:52 by Kenyan Robert Kiprono. Damn.

    Good showing by the Americans with Hall at 4th and Meb at 5th. About what most people expected out of them.

    I was a little disappointed in their text messaging update system. They were supposed to send splits at miles 6, 13, 18 and finish for those bib numbers that you sign up to follow. Still waiting....

      Same. I've been tracking my friend online as a result. Hopefully she breaks 4 hours. She's on pace but it's close.

        My buddy did 3:29. He was pretty consistent the whole way. At each of the splits it had his predicted time between 3:28 and 3:29. I think he was hoping for sub-3:25, so i hope he's not disappointed at all. Its still very fast.

            I still haven't received a single text from Boston.

              Finally got a text saying that Ryan Hall finished - about 3 hours after he finished.

                I wonder why it takes so long. Houston has a ton of people, but they got their texts out on time. I had texts set up to go to my phone while I was running, and they matched my real splits very closely.

                  I talked to my friend after the race yesterday. She was disappointed with her time, but she said she didn't train for it so she wasn't too upset. She also flew home to Utah at 5pm yesterday without a shower. She was not looking forward to that flight.
