Freshy Fresh from Boston 2026!

[laughs]

The year before was pretty epic, but this was another notch.

Like, you ran in-

Yeah

... 2011.

Comparable, better, worse? What do you think?

You know, I wasn't out there today, so it's hard to know for sure.

But it just felt like, as, as you know because you've run Boston so many times, one of the things I talked about on the broadcast was, like, how the weather can really make a difference here.

If it's, if you have a headwind, if it's hot, if it's really cold, it just changes the way people race.

Absolutely.

It becomes much more tactical.

But I think today people kind of got the green light to just k- a little bit go for broke-

Send it

... especially on the men's side.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was, like, the perfect day to send it.

If you've had perfect preparation, if you were ready to, you know, be able to charge up the hills and then still have legs after, there was really no excuse to not go for it today.

Yeah.

It seemed like it was perfect.

And I wanna dive into your race later, but for you, how did it feel out there?

It felt great.

Like, I mean, I think there was a handful of times where you're like, "Oh, someone's gonna complain about a headwind."

[laughs]

I could feel a little breeze, and then, like, a cup would roll by you from behind.
