Our Mr. Hollis finished the Boston Marathon today in 3:23:55.
The vital statistics....
379 out of 3192 males in the 50-59 age group.
4449 out of 14844 males overall.
5101 out of 25283 total entrants.
Congrats Andy! And I hope you have a safe trip home.
Gary Godula finished in 3:22:36. Once again, mod category on top. Oh wait, is there a pax for age?
Gary was 4,796th overall, 4,224 in gender, and 1,465 in division. He ran the second half 10 minutes faster than the first half. What hill?!

Thanks, Steve. It was quite the experience. This is a HUGE freaking deal up there, with people lining the course 10 feet thick screaming their guts out for many miles. And the 3:23 was a personal best for me, despite being on the hardest marathon course I've ever run. Still, I'm pretty tired of the hard-core training grind (7 months straight, including the Houston marathon in January), and looking forward to some quality autocross time all summer instead.

Actually, there is an age-graded "PAX" for running. Lookie here: Age-graded calculator
Based on that, I beat Gary by 7 minutes.
And I was running on "Street Tires"!!
solo-x:Andy, no phone call? Congrats man, good job! Shoulda let me know though. I live about 20 minutes from Hopkinton.
No kidding? I had no idea. Damn! That woulda given me some place to hang out before the race instead of sitting outside in the cold for two freakin' hours.
We'll be talkin' before next year's race, though....

Not only that, but you could have run an event at Devens (Miata Club this weekend?). A couple of course walks there almost equals a marathon. (Okay, not really, but on a Sunday morning it certainly feels like it)
Damnit! One more thing that Andy Hollis does better than I do! Gary Godula, too!
Great job, Andy! Great job, Gary!
HEY !!!! why is their no age-graded calculator for autocross ? i think i could beat someone, (wish i could run)
