Wish I had read this before buying the insurance. Whoops. I'm local so figured I'd toss my hat in the ring--I'm -5:17 under qualifying threshold, so might be borderline, but it's hard to tell what the demand for the race will be (particularly from international runners) given all the uncertainty. My money is on the race actually happening in October, but I've run Boston a few times and don't think this will be anything like the normal race from participant or fan perspective. Hopefully will be closer to normal for 2022 race next April, but I'm guessing it won't be fully back to same experience until 2023.
You and I are within seconds of each other. On top of the lack of International interest/availability, I haven't seen many people mention that Chicago is the same weekend, and their registration has already elapsed. Perhaps some people went the safer/guaranteed route of that race just to have something on the calendar.
