I’ve entered Boston for the third time, having previously entered but not run due to injury. My qualifying time will likely get me a 1/1 start but I’ve no intention of maintaining the kind of training that got me this time.
In fact, I’d be very happy to sneak under three hours just to tick Boston off the list (I live on the other side of the globe, so it’s a big time and financial commitment). Is this considered poor form and should I flag this with the organisers and accept a lower starting wave/coral? Should I flag it on the grounds that I don’t want to be investigated for running a significantly slower time than my qualifying time? Should I put on my big boy pants and try to run a PR?
