i just looked at the map - the first three miles have about a 300 foot drop in elevation.
Sell was in 17th place at 5k. 15:29
Casey Moulton just under 16 at 5K.
Dick Hoyt 45:45 at 10K (65 years old and pushing his son!).
Definitions of toboggan on the Web:
a knit hat worn to keep the head warm in cold temperatures. (not to be mistaken for a long sled.)
www.apparelsearch.com/glossary_t_.htm
move along on a luge or toboggan
a long narrow sled without runners; boards curve upward in front

A toboggan is a simple sled used on snow, to carry one or more people (often children) down a hill or other slope, for recreation. Designs vary from simple, traditional models to modern engineered composites.

lol about 60 yrs old man sprinted down the hill to be the first one out...good job man!
seems like sell is running a little more of a tactical race today.
Yeah, but would they be discussing hats?
For those that are watching, what's your opinion on the dude that just sprinted out to lead the second wave start: jackass or justifiable?
Oh, I see, it is a Southern mistake about items related to winter:
"In Southern American English a "toboggan" can also refer to the type of hat known elsewhere as a tuque or a ski hat." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toboggan)

It's on now!!
And, Runner's World would not be telling you that Karnazes split the 5K in 23:38. This after doing a radio interview on WEEI at 6:30 this morning and then running from Boston to the start.
That Japanese lady that is leading freaks me out, her upper body doesn't move at all.
Seriously Dean ran to the start from Boston? What a tool.
Let's see, there is "toboggan," as in sled, which is actually found in dictionaries, and has a logical etymology, coming from a micmac word for sled, and then there is "toboggan," a southern slang term for a tuque or ski hat (which people wear so often in the south), and is derived from...?
