Someone else I can watch from behind. Nice to see you on the blog.

Matt, saw on another post of yours some question about Boston qualifying time. My understanding is you only get one 59 second bump, so your qualifying time would be 3:15:59.

http://www.bostonmarathon.org/BostonMarathon/Qualifying.asp

Note the example given on the official page: "*An additional 59 seconds will be accepted for each age group time standard. For example, a net time of 3:50:59 will be accepted for a 42-year-old woman."

But I doubt you'd need the extra time anyway.

Yea I have been wondering about that it has never seemed really clear to me so I just want to be sub 3:15:00 thanks for your insight.
