I am watching the times too.
Seems like EG is going well. Now the hard part.

Terrific to get these updates fellas. I'm stuffing myself silly in a Tuscan eatery, sucking down world-class Chianti in honour of The Man, desperate for news. Sport in the raw; great stuff!
Go El Gordo!

Keep them updates coming. I am sitting here with sore legs from yesterdays 14 miler... :-) . Come on EG.

Oh god it's like that moment during Apollo 13 when the capsule goes behind the moon. Mission Control loses contact, the world holds it's breath . . .

Apollo 13 this is Houston, do you copy....over....

Don't wish to jinx things, but looking damn good for a PB unless the wheels really come off.
Having said that, 30K is where the hills start, isn't it?
Spring 09 - the run-up to Boston - Peterward3 - 20-04-2009
The hills kick in from half way I think...
God Speed EG.

If any man deserves a decent run it's EG in Boston.
Dig deep mate, bring it on home . . .

35km time is 4:20:51
Boston site predicting finish time of 5:14.
Come on fella!

Re-entering Earth's atmosphere . . . another horribly tricky stage. No visual contact, awaiting first crackle from intercom, followers huddled 'round the wireless . . . [SIZE="1"]or in my case iPhone with appalling connection in deepest Italian rural backwater[/SIZE]

I think EG's having a bit of a battle.
40 km in 5:04:45
Spring 09 - the run-up to Boston - marathondan - 20-04-2009
Still, come on EG! Less than a mile and a half to go, and still a great time in the offing...

Eight weeks ago Boston was the impossible dream.
A finish on 2 legs of any sort would be a triumph unrivalled in these hallowed halls. He'll do it, if he has to cuss, fight and drag himself over that blasted line.

5 hours 22 minutes. Well done, Andy! The dream has come true.
Spring 09 - the run-up to Boston - marathondan - 20-04-2009
WOOHOO, RAAH and also WOOT!
Brilliant result Andy, I hope nothing hurts badly enough to prevent you celebrating in style! Congratulations.
Spring 09 - the run-up to Boston - Sweder - 20-04-2009
Brilliant! Thank you Antonio! Gracias amigo!
Congratulations EG, hope you're all in one piece.
Enjoy the glow.

Fantastic effort EG.
Well done mate.
True grit!
I had to nip out to pick daughter up from station, missed the most exciting bit.
