Event comments:

.very spirited field of runners and walkers = good

lots of walkers and strollers who didn't start at the back as they were supposed to do = difficult

.fun to be in the city, which I so rarely am.

Running
01:06:51 \| 06.21 miles \| 10m 46s min/mile
Age Group:	0/1571
Overall:	0/6440
Performance:	Average
first mile @ 11:40 - terribly crowded with walkers and jogstrollers! second mile @ 10:40 - got out of the mob, still passing lots of people miles 3-5 -- surprisingly hot but I felt good last mile was really tough; hot, not enough water on the course for the surprisingly hot weather.
Course:	from the Boston Common, through Back Bay, across the Mass Ave bridge to Cambridge, westbound along Memorial Drive by MIT, around the cones and back to the Common. Beautiful! Hot on the bridge, plenty of shade in Back Bay. I joined runners on the grass/dirt path above the curb along Mem Drive because the slower groups and chatters were several abreast on the pavement.
