The biggest cheers on the Boston Marathon course went to Lance Armstrong, the seven-time winner of the Tour de France. In his only previous marathons, he finished in 2:59:36 and 2:46:43 in New York the last two years. Here, he ran 2:50:58, not bad, he said, for a 175-pound man who trained only 45 minutes a day.
“I did O.K.,” he said, “but it’s always hard at the end. I don’t train enough and I always tell myself I’m going to train longer, but I never do. I’m not as physically fit as I was for New York, and those hills here are so tough on your muscles. I enjoyed it, but I always suffer in a marathon."
