Racing the Sunset

Don’t worry. You are not “normal”. I suspect you never were, and it’s unlikely that you ever will be and that’s a good thing. None of us are and we are proud to have you sit on the board of our abnormal council.

Read Boston Race Day Tips Courtesy of VeloPress

The best way to have a good day at Boston is to stick to your training plan. Don’t do anything new! Instead, approach the marathon in the same way that you handled each training run. Of course, you may be nervous and excited, and that adrenaline may carry you to the finish line in record time. But don’t let your emotions get the best of you, and don’t let any doubts about your readiness lead you into rash, last-minute decisions.
