My Race Gear for the Boston Marathon
The lines to the yellow buses begins here!
Dennis and I waiting in the Village
Just went to the restroom about the 4th time lol
It was the hottest marathon with no shade and water hot as hell! I stopped 3 times! I had never walked in my previous 13 marathons and today was one of those days that no matter how good you want to do you have to adjust or be sent to the hospital .. I chose to adjust! Boy it sucked lol
Ran my worst marathon ever under brutal conditions the best thing is that I'm ALIVE and get to live another day (a lot of people dropped out or deferred to next years race) REDEMPTION 2013! Thanks for the support!
Congratulations on Finishing the 116th Boston
Marathon!

I'm ready to roll! I'm going out there this year just to have fun. I don't have time to pressure myself into thinking I could go sub 2:25 when I have not done the training. I'll be shooting for 2:32-2:34 this year and I hope it goes good! Best of Luck to everyone out there running! I'll be representing Laredo, Texas and Team Mizuno Texas! Let's GO!
Left to Austin at 12:00 pm got there at 4 pm saturday...
Picked up my packet at 4:30 and then headed to the hotel with Gono, Augustine and Noe...
At 5:30 we ate at Olive Garden and at 7pm we headed to my friends place Jack and Adams Bicycle the #1 bike shop in Austin.
With my lifetime bud Jack and the fastest Hispanic Miler in the WORLD! Good times! Thanks Jack and Leo!
Left at 8:00pm and just relaxed at the hotel and slept at 12pm
Wokeup at 6:30 am and this is how it rolled
13th out of 25,000 runners with a 33:13 and 1st in my division of 35-39 (Feels good to represent my age group) here are my splits (5:09,5:23,5:28,5:10,5:12,5:24) I dropped the ball on mile 2 & 3! Grinding is part of racing and today was one of those days I had to grind it out! Thanks for the support and on to the next one...
Top 25 individuals last year I ran a 31:50 but today was freaking hot!
