Runners visited the finish line in Boston and snapped selfies in the rain one day before Marathon Monday.
Athletes were eager for a soggy Sunday to dry out, making way for what could be ideal running conditions on Monday â brisk, breezy, and mostly dry, albeit a bit chilly for spectators with the potential for pop-up showers.
âWeâve trained through everything,â said Karen Lukic of Canada. âI have kit for everything â minus-20, plus-30. Whatever you have to throw at us, I was going to come prepared for it.â
Among Lukicâs group from Ontario, George Drew recalled his first Boston Marathon and his reason for coming back each year.
In 2013, his then-seven-year-old daughter stood near the youngest bombing victim, Martin Richard, at the finish line earlier in the race.
âThe thing that got me back here was [my daughter] said, âDad, we have to come back here, so bad people donât win,ââ Drew told Boston 25 News.
Among Drewâs Boston runs was the torrential rain of 2018, causing hypothermic conditions and hospitalizations even for experienced runners.
âMy gloves fell off. I was freezing,â Drew recalled. âAnd it was probably a bad idea to wear shorts. But I did, and it was a great finish. And I remember lying in our hotel room for about an hour with the shower warming up. I was shivering for about an hour.â
A true New Englander, Melissa Wu feels prepared for the elements as she watches the forecast, knowing how unpredictable April weather can be.
âWe watch the weather every few minutes,â said Wu, of Nashua, N.H. âItâs been getting to the 70s, and we didnât like that. And so, the cooler weather is great, especially having trained in New England, where weâve had the winter that we had. Weâre ready for this.â
The race will also be emotional for Wu, who has been trying to qualify for Boston for nearly 20 years.
âMy dad was a runner, and [we] kind of lost him in the last two years,â Wu said. âSo, this means a lot to be able to run this.â
