I am very happy it is over and very proud that I finished says Rosaura at this year’s Boston Marathon

I did finish and with a decent time of 3:44:34 I think. Today was a very tough day for everybody. No matter what I did to stay dry nothing worked as I expected except for the shower cap on my hat. I was wet and cold way before getting in the bus, then at the village mud all over, so I have to add I had muddy shoes and I couldn't feel my toes. It was a brutal day, the rain never stopped and the wind was very strong, I never felt warm so I struggled a lot. I had to stop at mile 24 to walk for about 3 min because my lower back was getting stiff and painful. To recover our bags was a nightmare because they were running short of volunteers, I don't blame them for not sticking with their job, they were looking worst than we were; then when I got my bag it was almost impossible to open it since my hands were super cold, so little by little I was able to open it with my teeth (full of germs probably but I didn't care); from there I started a painful walk to meet my big supporter, my husband, who was also suffering from being cold. Overall an interesting day and a big new experience, One of the worst conditions I have run a marathon. Well done everybody. We never know what kind of surprise Boston's weather has for us. Until the next one! (04/16/2018) Views: 1,617 ⚡AMP
