My experience at Boston has only been on hot years, so take it for what its worth.
The tents arent reserved but fill up. As people leave for the start in Wave 1, people will fill in from later waves and take their spots. Id imagine it will be much more crowded if its raining.
Im not sure if they will let you on a wave 1 bus with a wave 2 bib or not. Personally, I wouldnt go early if i was in wave 2. You risk standing around in Boston Commons waiting for your bus and if you get on then your sitting around in the AV for extra time. Id imagine that if you are just going solo, you can find space under the tent and your best strategy is to minimize time outside.
Thank you sir, though there is a bit of confusion: I'm in Wave 1, Corral 3 and was considering taking a Wave 2 bus to just avoid waiting for too long. I'll be poncho'ed up, with change of clothes and shoes etc., but the less time in the village the better. Maybe it is a bad idea considering the crowding, I don't know. My guess is that they do let you take a Wave 2 bus if you're a Wave 1 runner. Saying no would deprive you from getting to the start?!
