What's up everybody. Welcome to another episode of Nobody Asked us with Des and Kara, presented by Brooks Running.

We are here. We're in Boston. This is the beautiful Fairmont, all kinds of action happening out there,

but so much action happened on the course. Kara, you were on the call. Let's get into it. Okay, I'm impressed by your energy right now. You ran across the desert, then you came to Boston, being like, I don't know, I don't know how my legs are going to feel, and then you ran 235, which we will also get into today,

impressed by the energy right now, I've got to say. A lot of coffee.

A lot of coffee.

Well, the day. are going to feel and then you ran 235, which we will also get into today. Impressed by the energy

right now, I got to say. A lot of coffee. Well, the day was great. Super fast performances on both

sides, men and women. Big American breakthroughs, I think. But I think the weather really

cooperated with this marathon. Yeah, let's just go straight into that. This is cool.

We got coverage of the finish line behind us. You guys probably already seen it on TV. I haven't seen any of it yet, so I'm like kind of looking at it. But I'm going to stay focused. Yeah, yeah, stay focused. Let's start with the weather right away. This is, I mean, it's been the talk of the whole weekend. It's always the talk in Boston.

I saw Josh Cox, an agent this morning, and he was like,

it's finally due for a good weather year. It's been forever. And I was like, last year was like pretty epic. The year before it was pretty epic. But this was another notch. Like you ran in 2011. Comparable, better or worse? What do you think? You know, I wasn't out there today, so it's hard to know for

sure. But it just felt like, as you know, because you've run Boston so many times, one of the things I talked about on the broadcast was like how the weather can really make a difference here. If it's, if you have a headwind, if it's hot, if it's really cold, it just changes the way people race. it becomes much more tactical.

But I think today people kind of got the green light to just a little bit go for broke,

especially on the men's like Yeah, it was like the perfect day to send it. If you've had perfect preparation, if you were ready to, you know, be able to charge up the hills and then still have legs after, there was really no excuse to not go for it today. It seemed like it was perfect. And I want to dive into

race later, but for you, how did it feel out there? It felt great. Like, I mean, I think there was a handful of times where you're like, ooh, someone's going to complain about a headwind. I could feel a little breeze. And then like a cup would roll by you from behind and you're like, Nope, nope, it's still a toe.

And so it was, yeah, and like,

you could just tell people

were being aggressive.

It was, people were out hard. Um, everyone looked like they were like, this is, this is the PR day. It kind of felt like people knew. They were like, this is the day to run fast in Boston. And like, this is the day to like capitalize on everything like it's this don't wait till next year

this is it well it's so funny i mean i remember in 2011 people ran lights out fast and then the following

year it was like the pro field was insane because everyone was like well shit boston's fast like you
