We got out early and were glued to Flotrack Twitter feed all morning. We watched as updates of race after race and wave after wave started. We squealed as American's Desi Linden and Dathan Ritzenheim held the lead for a time! And, we howled as the women's lead pack passed and Meb threw fist pumps our way.
How can you not love the Boston Marathon!
I'm thankful that the rain was the only drama today. The rain started to come down steadily as you can see in the last few pictures and sent us home earlier than normal. It was a great day to race; cool and overcast. We saw a good battle with Caroline Rotich of Kenya winning the Women's race and Lelisa Desisa winning the Men's. The top American Women finishers were: Desi Linden, 4th, Shalane Flanagan, 8th, and Adriana Nelson, 13th. Top American Men: Dathan Ritzenheim, 7th, Meb keflezighi, 8th, and Matt Tegenkamp, 11th.
I'm so proud of all the runners who came out, struggled and finished the marathon today. You are all such an inspiration to me. God bless you all.
