You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: Sean Norton Subject: RE: New huge PR for Moses Mosop! Body: It's not quite accurate to summarize the Boston course as "downhill." The real factor in the fast times at Boston in 2011 was the tailwind. The Boston course *is* a net downhill, but that doesn't matter much when you consider the challenge of the up-hills. But it really confuses the matter when you just call it a "downhill" course. When Boston doesn't have a tailwind it's a challenging course. Don't believe me? Look at the winning times and compare them to the pancake flat courses. London, Rotterdam, Berlin, Dubai have consistently faster winning times, by a large margin, because the level terrain overrides whatever variance is in play from the weather on any given day. Boston's weather is famously variable in terms of temperature, humidity, and wind. The fast times in 2011 and 1994 were really the result of wind. They were also very slow in 2007 when there was a head wind. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
