The former, according to several sources. Take from it what you will.

They decided early to take it easy, walked through all the aid stations to make sure they were getting enough water. Everyone ran slower than usual, even the elites. Congratulations to all the finishers!

Congratulations to all the finishers! +1. Two of my student workers ran it too. Congrats to your sis and all who made it, and special congrats to the wheelchair entrant who broke the previous record.

To qualify for the Boston, you have to be in pretty good shape and there are time qualifications in place by age. Anyone who qualifies for the Boston Marathon are in top shape! http://www.boston.com/sports/marath...day_temperatures_are_a_hot_topic/?page=2

They couldn't believe it. See, they had me profiled already. 'Course that was more'n thirty years back. I don't recall a kudu collapsing at the end of it, just a can of evaporated milk as first prize. Sweetest milk I ever drank.
