Tracking 2015 Boston Marathon

Yes, friends and neighbors, it's time to start up a new tracking thread for the 2015 Boston Marathon.  First, I'd like to thank our sponsors, those many banner ads brought to you by your surfing Al Gore's invention.  Those banner ads are unwelcome, but it keeps the lights on and the spam fresh.    

I copied our 365 runners, both past and present, from the Boston Marathon 2015 thread.  So, if there are any others that need to be added, let me know and I will add them.

The headline for this year's race is the weather again.  Those storms that plagued the central and southeast Texas areas last week, are what is going to upset the apple cart in Boston.  At least it won't be snowing.

So, hop on and enjoy the program in the dry and windless comfort in front of your computer.

Hmmm, it appears the AT&T Athlete Alert registration is closed, which seems a little odd.

I see the BAA app allows tracking of 10 runners, but my iphone doesn't have update 8. 




If anyone has some suggestions, please post them here.  Otherwise, we might be sol.

This morning, BAA inserted their tracking software and everyone above is logged in and I'm ready to track.

Hopkinton weather at 8:05 ET was cloudy and 42 degrees with an ENE wind at 7.  There's a 100% chance of rain with a high of 53 there.
At the same time, Boston is also at 42 degrees with a wind chill of 35 due to an east wind at 14.  Boston also has a 100% chance of rain with an east breeze at 22 mph and a high of 50.  According to weather.com, the rain is not to start until 1 p.m. ET., when the chance of rain increases from 0% to 55% and increases 10% each hour.

The race day schedule for the runners is:
Elite Women start at 9:32 ET
Elite Men and Wave 1 start at 10 ET
Wave 2 starts at 10:25 ET
Wave 3 starts at 10:50 ET

Each wave, except for the Elite Women, has about 7,500 entrants.

Thanks for  tracking!  I'm watching the livestream on Universal Sports right now.  Not sure about how the weather is there, haven't watched enough to know.  Sounds as if the wind isn't the big issue they thought it might be.
