Look for that HTH flag on the left, at Centre St., just before the 20M marker. We will get it up on a streetlight pole so you can see it. It may be horizontal. I am catching the new info. I hope Gatorade Endurance Orange is good enough for Lemon-Lime. L-L seems to be missing. Yell Hey Pro and yell your name (like divechief)!! Don't stop. (unless you want a break) we'll get it to you. -Craig We'll be at the same place with the same HTH team flag. The flag is about 3 feet wide, and 10 feet up on a pole, but you still have to look. 50 yds short of the 20 mile mark, just after Centre St., on the left, and just prior to last piece of HH.

hermosaboy Cool Runner	posted Mar-16-2007 02:35 PM Pro Hydration for non-professionals -- Loved it last year!!! 50/50 gatorade (red flavor preferred, but I am not picky). THANK YOU!!! BTW -- might want to include anticipated pace for the race. My plan is to run 7:20's until I crest Heartbreak. So, that gives you an estimate of when to look for me. IP: Logged
Soundrunner1012 Cool Runner	posted Mar-16-2007 02:54 PM What about bananas? Do Boston Boomers do bananas? By 20 miles, my tummy is very, very picky. IP: Logged
tallrunner Cool Runner	posted Mar-16-2007 03:40 PM Pro Great of you to do this. Regular Gatorade (red preferred like Hermosaboy)...At 20 miles who knows what shape we will be in, hopefully will find you... Tall IP: Logged
hermosaboy Cool Runner	posted Mar-16-2007 03:50 PM quote: Originally posted by tallrunner: At 20 miles who knows what shape we will be in, hopefully will find you... Tall This is a PROfessional crew! They picked me out of the crowd last year, called my name AND ran with me while I ate my banana. Gave me the gatorade and wished me a good finish! I felt SO special!!! If ya don't mind, I wouldn't complain about having a 1/2 banana with the gatorade again... IP: Logged
winejunky Cool Runner	posted Mar-16-2007 05:31 PM I'd prefer NV Krug, well chilled please......I totally missed this last year, quite ashamed of myself.....will you have just plain water? IP: Logged
jjchaney Cool Runner	posted Mar-16-2007 05:54 PM Pro.....thanks again for the helping hand. 20M ETA: 2:04 to 2:09 (12:04pm to 12:09pm) Bib: 1600 Name: Chaney Drink: Small water bottle with rubber-banded Vanilla GU Thanks! ------------------ My Running Log Team Good River [This message has been edited by jjchaney (edited Mar-30-2007).] IP: Logged
divechief Cool Runner	posted Mar-16-2007 05:57 PM Thanks Pro, I was amazed that your crew picked me out of the crowd last year. I will try to make myself easier to spot this year. I will know better when we get closer, and numbers are assigned, at this point I anticipate passing your station at about 1:10. Like last year, any flavor of gatorade that isn't lemon-lime would be good. if you have any orange, or red stuff left over it would be great. Thanks. Dave IP: Logged
TheProFromDover Cool Runner	posted Mar-16-2007 06:18 PM Ok just to be clear. I'll edit the original note. Look up! I need to figure out how to make it more readable. How does one align vertically in CR? The format is: 20M ETA - the actual net time you expect to arrive at 20M number - duh name - the name that will be on your bottle. what you want - what you want. Everything else I'm gonna put in the start note so you do not have to search. -CAIgr C R A I G IP: Logged
mcsolar99 Cool Runner	posted Mar-16-2007 07:46 PM craig, you're the best. thanks. you can pick me out since i'll be the guy smiling 2:17 bib? mcsolar 500ml clear gatorade IP: Logged
rtravers Cool Runner	posted Mar-16-2007 08:16 PM I think I can...I think I can...I think I can...can I make it to the Boomer Elite Water stop this year? If so, I'm seconding -junky's vote for Krug, please. And the vision of your bright, shiny faces. I can't wait! But here goes, playing by the rules... 20M eta: 1:15-1:30 PM (2:45-3:00 hours after the 10:30 AM start, I'm guessing prolly 10 min just to cross the starting line) Number: tba Name: Robin T. What: Large bottle of cold Lemon Gatorade with 2 E-caps THANKS!!! I can't wait to see you on that hill! --Robin [This message has been edited by rtravers (edited Mar-17-2007).] IP: Logged
maryt Cool Runner	posted Mar-17-2007 07:39 AM Not running, but I'll certainly stop by to give some support. We were just before that point last year, the sun angle being best for Mr T's photos around Water Street just a little before Centre Street. So, we're planning to be at the same spot again this year. I s your stop just after or before Centre Street? IP: Logged

spankee Cool Runner	posted Mar-19-2007 07:29 AM Pro--do you have my Boston 06 vintage still in the fridge or did you drink it at New Years? Nothing says energy boost like a little bit of fungus. I am planning on running 3:20 so once I work out the math, I will e-mail the details. IP: Logged
perchcreek Cool Runner	posted Mar-19-2007 09:08 AM ProTeam! Awesome! Thanks so much for doing this, I feel Elite! I need to see how my PF pans out before I comit on a ETA. For those who have no idea when they might hit mile 20 (due to the terrain, corral, wave etc.) this can help you figure out when you'll hit the ProTeam. (note the sheet on estimated start times for corrals) http://www.box.net/public/75o3rqgty9 ------------------ My Profile Training IP: Logged
busiman Cool Runner	posted Mar-19-2007 11:52 AM Thanks for doing this again Craig! (and everyone else helping you). I was bummed that I couldn't find you in the chaos last year (that'd be chaos on the hill AND in my head). Maybe Tim can do a mugshot cheat sheet for you to pick us out. :-) Assuming a number of things (decent weather, ham cooperates, etc) I'll be at 20M at roughly 12:32 pm. I'm looking to run 7:11s and expect to be in 7th or 8th corral. 12:32pm bibTBD Craig (busiman) 50/50 Red Gatorade would be great.

TheProFromDover Cool Runner	posted Mar-19-2007 01:22 PM spankee, Right. You get the same bottle. I haven't dared open it. busiman, Yeah we'll look for you but .... Hey, are you right in Hopkinton/Natick area? I am Westborough/Southboro/Framingham. Run at lunch? Weekends? Some day when you need a rest day and I need a fast day, we should hook up. -Criag IP: Logged
rbbmoose Cool Runner	posted Mar-19-2007 02:17 PM Yup - it is awesome to do this. I generally am fine drinking whatever crap is on the course so I'll have to think about this one. If I get there before him can I have TallRunners beverage? Ray IP: Logged
Ileneforward Cool Runner	posted Mar-19-2007 03:46 PM If ya'll wear kilts; runners and water stop guys, you'd be easier to spot. I'm just sayin'...... IP: Logged
tallrunner Cool Runner	posted Mar-19-2007 04:00 PM rbbmoose - if your behind me, your having a bad day... Now on the other hand if you insult before we start or tell me your going to beat me then I may have to try... Tall IP: Logged
Dove61 Cool Runner	posted Mar-19-2007 04:11 PM Just a friendly hello is all I need. I seem to do just fine with whatever is offered on the course, but a little encouragement from other boomers is always appreciated. Beyond that, any Gatorade or jelly-type candies (Jelly Bellies, Gummy Bears, etc...) or whatever is on hand works for me. I have no idea what time I'll be coming through. I'll be in the second wave and plan on having a good time, not running for a PR. I will be wearing a black running skirt and Marathon Maniacs singlet (or Maniac long-sleeve shirt depending on weather). I second the idea of kilts for the men. It would make them so much easier to follow (.....I mean spot). -Dove ------------------ My Profile [This message has been edited by Dove61 (edited Mar-19-2007).] IP: Logged
rbbmoose Cool Runner	posted Mar-20-2007 07:07 AM Naw TallRunnner - I'm not going to talk any trash and get you riled up... I don't even think we're in the same AG and it seems you are improving rapidly as I am getting over the hil... Maybe we could work up some sort of friendly competition based on time vs. qualifying time. But my biggest worry is the weather - if its a hot day I'm thinking of going to the Red Sox game...
