I think that is what Meb is trying to say in his blog. If he just wanted to race, get a faster time and collect some money he would have gone to London. He had better chances of winning Boston because it suits him. He probably has the best chance of winning Boston vs London. He has openly said in his interviews that his biggest goal is to win Boston before he retires. I guess Boston doesn't want what NYC had in 2009. With 2012 an Olympic year and 2013 so far out the best chance they had for an American win was this year. They should have had Meb in this race. Its their loss!
