Boston Marathon - KenB vs LisaP - It's on!

[Jwolf]

Unless I'm reading it wrong, she's ahead of him by about 2 minutes at 40K? Is my brain not working properly today?
eta: La beat me to it-- I wasn't reading it wrong. So she made up 3.5 minutes over 5K.

[deerdree]

i wonder if they managed to spot each other on the course? i hope so!

[Jwolf]

So he actually started ahead of her?

[deerdree]

she's in!!

4:17:24!

[Jwolf]

And now he's in too! 4:21:33

[Jwolf]

I had faith that Lisa would pull it off! Congratulations to both of you.

[Robinandamelia]

They are both in! Ken 4:21:33

Great running by both of them Congrats you two!

So he actually started ahead of her?

By my calculations (so take that for what it's worth ), Lisa crossed the start line at 11:14:19AM and Ken crossed at 11:15:44AM, so 1min and 25 seconds behind. He passed her before they even got to the 5K mat, pulled ahead by 3:30 by 30K, but then she reeled him back in!

[canalrunner]

Purdy impressive for both of them. The early surge by Ken did not pay off. Will be interesting to hear the race tactics.

[La]

I wonder where between 35-40K she made the pass!

how did you calculate this? is it [(real time finish time) - (gun time)]?

[scrumhalfgirl]

congrats to you both!

[Spirit Unleashed]

I used the time they crossed the 5K timing mat, then subtracted their 5K time from that.

Lisa:
5K in 29:11, crossed at 11:45:30AM

Ken:
5K in 28:13, crossed at 11:43:57AM

[La]

But yes, your way works, too.

[RobW]

Exciting finish! Congrats to both of you.

[Habs4ever]

I'm sorry I had to miss the "real time" updates. IT was just as exciting to read after too.

Congratulations to the two of you and AndyM.

[deerdree]

I'm not sure it does. When I did it my way, they started at the same time!

Then maybe it's Real Time Finish Time - Chip/Net Time?

[ian]

I'm confused too. Based on the finish time clock, Lisa got to the line first by 3:33, and this is also the difference in "gun time" (which makes sense, given that they were in the same wave). On the other hand, Lisa's "net time" is 4:09 faster, which suggests that Ken got to the starting line 36 seconds sooner than Lisa. That must have been a mosh pit shuffling towards the mat.

Congrats to both Ken & Lisa!

Ken:
5K in 28:13, crossed at 11:43:57AM

Using these times Ken started at 11:15:44 and Lisa started at 11:16:19. I think. So Ken started 35 second ahead.

Interesting! I started in my corral, but I got there just in time because I had to make a bathroom stop!

Great day despite the conditions. I was strong on the hills and finished feeling great!

[Jwolf]

Thanks for checking in Lisa! Congratulations on another great finish.
So I take it you guys never saw eachother?
