What is the reason that the live streaming is not available in Canada?

Quite the win on the wheelchair side!

As the announcer asked, "How is it possible that one man can be so much more powerful...?", the cynic in me thought, "Didn't they ask that about Lance?"

Wow,

Rob Watson has just decided the heck with the rest of the field. Not sure he'll hang on, but - what the heck. I think he's just a position of going with it and whatever will be will be.

Too cool...Fingerboy and my friend Randy (from Kingston) are seconds apart on the course...and have been since the beginning with Randy just slightly ahead.

I've been tracking all afternoon - what an emotional roller coaster. I think it's easier to run the 26.2! My training partner did incredible - she ran a 2 minute PB @ 3:19:06, never missing a step. She held the same pace throughout - amazing!

Congrats to everyone who raced in Boston today!
We train more joyfully and productively when we focus on the now, rather than on our future race day performance. It's a long road from here to there with many miles to go. We need to run each one. Accept where you are today and simply be thankful for the work you've accomplished. KA

He and my friend Randy must have run most of the race pretty close to each other...Randy finished in 3:00:47.
