Predicting what corral one will be in is not an exact science. But in general I would assume that there are fewer people under the 3:10 range each year. For me, using my PR of 3:27:10 from October 2006, I should be in the 11th corral with a number somewhere from 10,000 - 10,999. If I'm not mistaken, it's actually the 10th corral if you don't count the first one which is for the elites. The one thing that seems constant is that there will always be several thousand people filling corrals with qualifying times from 3:10 - 3:25. That's my goal, to get a new PR this year under 3:25 (and I'll be an old fart of 52 YR'sOA in May!).<br><br>
Wow, 25,000 entrants and sold out, eh? (why am I talking in Canadian?) <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> That makes this year's event one of the top five races in the U.S. in entrants, right?<br><br>
It's still seven weeks away, so I'm sure we'll get more than enough people wanting to meet up for Sunday lunch or maybe a spectator group for the women's trials.<br><br>
BTW, I'm a bit behind on my mileage but will be ramping up to the 50's per week this week with a 20 miler on Sunday and with much anticipation, the Bataan Death March Marathon 22 days before Boston.<br><br><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">
