    Depends on the wave, but:
    Mobility Impaired 9:00 a.m.
    Wheelchair Division - 9:17 a.m.
    Handcycles - 9:22 a.m.
    Elite Women - 9:32 a.m.
    Elite Men & Wave One - 10:00 a.m. 9,000 - Red
    Wave Two 10:20 a.m. - 9,000 - White
    Wave Three - 10:40 a.m. - 9,000 - Blue

    9am Boston = 2pm Ireland
    10am Boston = 3pm Ireland
    So the mass waves will start from 3pm Irish time.

    Did I hear some throwaway comment during coverage of the ParisMarathon today that Eurosport are showing the Boston Marathon?
    Probably not.

    There was deferred coverage a few days after the race last year. Think it was Setanta Ireland.

    We* met here after the race last year.

    * I unfortunately didn't make it, as my post-race fluids were of a different variety using a more direct route into the blood stream

    Best of luck to all running on Monday. Boston is a special marathon, and I will never forget doing it back in 2011. Enjoy it, soak it up and savour every second of the experience!

    Oh... and buy the jacket!

    Best of luck to all, did the race last year and although the weather "ruined" it, it was the best race experience I've ever sampled.

    Would love to do the race again... maybe next year.

    Fortunately not. Mine was only a few hours in the medical tent getting some excellent care and attention.
