Hey guys!

Last year I was lucky enough to stay right near the commons for the Boston Marathon. This year it is likely that I will be staying in Cambridge. 

How insane do you think it would be to take the T into Boston marathon morning? Or is that even a viable option?

 

Thanks in advance!

It's insane EVERY morning! .........and driving is even more insane.

It'll be a little more crowded than usual, but still better than driving.

While I haven't tried it on marathon morning, so I could be wrong, I wouldn't think it would be too bad. I think it would be crazier in the afternoon when everyone is up and about and the crowds are trying to make their way in to spectate. If you're just trying to get in to catch the early shuttle to Hopkinton, I think it should be fine...

Once you caught your breath, it occurred to you that finishing even a short triathlon might be harder than you thought. After a few "laps" you thought, "I can't believe I'm so out of shape."
