OT: Boston Marathon. I guess spoilers?

Anyone racing? Following? It'd be exciting to see what Kipchoge does and the women's race is loaded. It should be fun.

Could be a tough day out there with a headwind it looks like and possible rain. There's nothing like Patriots Day in Boston, man I can smell the beer from the BU kids from here.

4.34 per mile - first mile!!! Without a rabbit or lazers - hahah

And the wheelchair -
About half way thru Susannah Scaroni had a wheel problem - she feared she may have a flatted (would have had to change it herself, without getting out of the chair). They carry their own tools, food, water. Tough as nails!!!
