Awesome BQ on a hilly course. I ran an 8k there a few years back and the hill we hit is on the marathon route and drain us on the short race. Can't imagne it twice in a marathon.

You are such a low-key (at least you make it seem that way outwardly ;) ) guy Alain... I can see you just quietly contemplating and throwing that statement out there..

Congratulations on a race well run.. You deserve it, and...

YOU'RE GOING TO BOSTON! :dance:
