Top 2 Texas Runners Per Age Group at Boston
In the last 24 hours, I posted a handicapping of the men's and the women's race from a Texas perspective. It was clearly a crapshoot; however, nobody else attempted it!
There were a couple of cases where it appeared as if a runner with a higher bib number obviously turned in a slower time and then improved upon it between registering and race day.
Boston's age-group divisions are not those depicted here. I used the standard 5-year age-groups for this analysis and my selections are highlighted in red below.
Out of 22 divisions, my pick was first 11 times and second four (4) times. Therefore, fifty (50) percent accuracy and 15 of 22 in the top two! There were three (3) more that I could have nailed -- Infante, Forehand and Allen -- if I would have factored in last year's Boston performance more heavily. I actually did the in the 50-54 age group by selecting Stephen Jayson of Stockdale even though Katy's Steve Brammer had run the fastest time most recently.
