Really awful coverage. They covered it better last year.
Dull year too.

Straight from the linked article: Though he got into the race via an exemption from Gatorade, a longtime personal sponsor, he had a strong desire to qualify for Boston the old-fashioned way. It just wasn’t practical, he says.
This does bother me. I listened to the Brojos last podcast where they go on and on about the 2 minute head start for the male elites as ruining Boston as "the people's race" and "the people's olympics" - making the race "elitist", etc. etc.
I was never close to running into the top tier of runners (3:02) but I am bothered by the "who-cares" attitude about making people "jump through the bullshit qualifying hoops" quote from areyoudumb. Yeah, guess I am dumb. I wasn't aware that people don't have to qualify. I thought that's what Boston was all about. We even talk about Boston Qualifier races, etc., and here some Nascar dude says that qualifying for Boston wasn't practical???? Wasn't practical????
No offense, but as a single Dad I would put my daughter to bed at night and then run around the block in the dark so I could get my training in. I doubt I could've gotten into Boston by telling them that qualifying wasn't practical for me.
You are not dumb. You are naive. Hence why I suggest moving out of your mom’s basement. I’m surprised you’re able to raise your kids down there.

Cool story bro but you're not a famous Nascar driver, I'd rather read about a Nascar driver training 80mpw than another 3 hour rando

Hello Ukguy, if you are still looking for a good channel to watch other matches, sport games I can recommend you one that I am using for so long. It has all kinds of sports soccer, basketball, tennis, baseball, american football, cricket, ice hockey, volleyball, table tennis and you can watch it anywhere, just following the link https://sportstv.io, and choosing the sport you like, and it is of course online. I watched soccer when I was in Spain, the quality is perfect, the show score of the match as well, so anything you need and want))
