Subject: RE: Boston Qualifying Question First: that woman is a total BA for running 3:16!! Dang. Second: just to be clear, Boston has a new registration policy as of the 2012 race. I believe it is a permanent change. The first two days, the race is only open to those who qualify by 20 minutes or more. The next period (also 2 days?) is open to those who qualify with a 10 minute cushion. The third period is for those with a 5 minute cushion. This is all who may register the first week. The second week, those who have any BQ may register. They order everyone the second week based on your BQ cushion and those who beat their time by the most get in first until capacity is reached. Third: based on the interest this race has already, I'm thinking it will sell out faster than before, but it will by no means be a mad dash to the computer. I'm hoping my BQ-2:49 is enough, because I really want to show my support to those affected on Monday by racing. |
