Well, the Boston Marathon was a great experience. I finished in 3:01:33, my second slowest marathon I've ever run. My legs were just not working very well today. Oh well, that's how it goes sometimes. I was on track for 2:48 or so for a good while, but halfway through the race my calves were tightening up, and I just had to focus on finishing the race.
I still had a great time. This race is just so amazing. There are people everywhere. They cheer and scream like you wouldn't believe. I wore my Swedish shirt which has the letters "Sweden" and "Sverige" on it in big letters, and I felt like the crowd favourite. Everone seemed to cheer "Go Sweden!" all the wah from the start to the finish. Amazing experience.
Lance Armstrong ran just under 2:51, and reading the splits on the Boston Marathon website, I must have been ahead of him for a while although I never spotted him. He started ahead of me, with the elites. I was in corall 1.
Anyway, this race was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this marathon to anyone who is fit enough to qualify. I have never seen such a crowd along a marathon, simple unreal.
There were over 25,000 people running in this race. The second highest number of runners ever in the race, after the 100th anniversary in 1996.

LOOKING TO PURCHASE PROFESSIONAL PHOTO OF THE 2008 MARATHON OF MY NIECE AT THE FINISH LINE
ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A PHOTO
Thanks everyone. I might go back next year. I'd really like to run under 3 hours!
Comment added on May 22, 2008Robert, congrats. Your slow time is still well ahead of my fastest time (3:18). I ran Boston in 2006 and it was the most fun I've had on a marathon. Definitely a hoot to have so many people cheering.
--Zack
Congrats Robert!
