Comments:

May have paid for the fast miles at the start with a couple of slow miles at the end that put me 27 secs off a BQ time by the watch. Updated official time IS a Boston Qualifier!
What would you do differently?:

A little better pace management at start
Post race
Event comments:

Race started 30 minutes late due to ice on roads. Problem with chip timing, the "official time is now my stop watch time.

Congrats!  Great race for not so great weather. 

Huge bummer on the 27 seconds. Frown  But hey if you go up an age group by next years Boston then your time will be good. Laughing  Any chance that is happening?  If not there is always next year.

Those conditions were not conducive to a BQ time. Up the temp about 20 degrees and you would have made it. Getting as close as you did as awesome.

Thanks for all the comments, I am still high from this one. Looking at all my training buddies some made their times some had bad days, you better appreciate the accomplishment. I'm stoked. Pike's Peak is next then I'm coming back for those 27 seconds!
