You'll find the course is considerably easier than the SF Marathon, with easy rolling hills vs the coastal craziness of SF. Heartbreak Hill is about the same as climbing up to the GG Bridge, but a nice even grade. It just feels big since its right at mile 21.<br /><br />Your bigger challenge will be navigating the larger crowds in the early miles. If you are planning a PR, get to your corral early and get up front!Scott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-67134871929977636402014-09-27T00:30:33.153-07:002014-09-27T00:30:33.153-07:00Thanks for the break down, Scott!

Thanks, and see you in Boston on April 20th!Brian Schmitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558240415505982059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-25699541436064654912014-09-25T19:56:33.471-07:002014-09-25T19:56:33.471-07:00Excellent, Rosa!

Best of luck at your race.<br /><br />The qualifying time is based on your age at the time of the race (April, 2016), so as long as you are under the W45-49 qualifying time of 3 hrs and 55 min (and a few minutes under to be safe), you are in good shape.Scott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-12144007115194516252014-09-25T18:12:00.191-07:002014-09-25T18:12:00.191-07:00Scott I know this is probably not the best place t...Scott I know this is probably not the best place to ask this question but I want to be sure and I think you wouls know best...If I am 44 and running a Dec marathon to try and qualify for 2016 do i need to run age 44 qualifying time or can it be age 45 qualifying time since I will be 45 in 2015?
