Looks like another Japanese runner, Naoki Yamada (31218) who appears to have started in the 4th wave, takes 27th place (2:32:10) overall in the Boston Marathon. Anyone know his story? That cannot be easy running a 5:49 average pace through that crowd and weather.
Wonder what the highest placing for anyone starting in the 4th wave is to finish overall at Boston is?
Great questions. I want to know why was he even in the 4th wave to begin with? He must be a high 2:20 runner if he can run 2:32 in those conditions.

Being a Japanese marathoner, he put himself in what he thought was 4th tier. Little did he know that he is 2nd tier in an American marathon, at worst.
