- A decision to do one more marathon by the end of the year in my attempt to qualify for Boston 2025. CIM is a fast course, yet a difficult one. Something I underestimated. It was a tough one, and not everything went according to plan, but regardless proud of myself of putting in the work and getting it done.
Enjoy the clips of the race!
A race weekend / recap vid to come! Stay tuned for that :).

My coworker sent me this video. I was your bus driver that morning and just wanted to say great job on your finish! No easy feat for sure. It's neat to see a runner's POV after they've left the buses and are out on the course. Hope to see you next year and on your way to Boston!
The true mvp is here! Thanks for driving us to the start line safely 😄
Your a beast dude! 😎
Keep your chin up, brother. I also ran CIM this year.
Anyone who has run a marathon knows what you were going through.
Onto the next one.
Way to grind it out!! Your day is coming soon. ⚡️🫡
AHH! Eric, thank you so much!!
Wow thanks for taking me back to that day 🥹🥹
Hi Alvin, maxmax here. I enjoyed watching every second of your video. Different pace, but quite relatable to my race as well, also how my mind was changing over those miles went by. Uphill mile 8,9, started feeling it after half, physical and mental struggle, seeing my goal pace going away, seeing my B goal passing by, Ironically those sceneries through painful 20+miles were such a beautiful snapshots in my memories, the bridge and endless cheering spectators, the finish.. again, I fully enjoyed your video and it made me......want to come back again, dang it. Thank you for your hard effort carrying camera and made this beautiful clips. See you soon, the great park gate keeper!
DMAX!! Thank you so much! That is so true, 20+ miles was indeed very scenic as well. You did well and I look forward to doing more marathons with you 🙂
Congrats on your finish and your tenacity to push on through!
This is so rad. Well done alvin documenting the race!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks MK 🙂, AHRC definitely motivates me
Awesome video!! This was my first marathon, so It was nice to see it again from your POV. Great job man!
He did very well...not as good as the top 10 ...still good...he is a beast...
Pretty cool to see myself a few times in the first 5k. I too had to make an unscheduled pit stop. Ha.
I remember the porta potty next to me, that person was letting it rip as well ....🤔
you caught me at 5:40 and right after passing the 13.1 timing mat! grats on your finish, and thanks for the video!
oh no wayy! You had a sick singlet
Good run !!!! sometimes the feel of finishing is better than the plan
Agreed!
Great job!!
Congrats and great video! CIM is a hell of a race and a fun course!
Great video Alvin! Great race and great job holding on until the end! Maybe it didn’t go the way you had hoped but this will make the race where you sub 3 even sweeter. Look forward to your next race!
You did your best on that day. Congrats on that. Let's get thet sub 3!
I'm so impressed by how much footage you can get while flying through the course. Nicely done and congrats!
Thanks again! xD
I enjoyed seeing your BQ attempt because I felt everything you did when I was trying to achieve that goal.... but that was in 1989 at Las Vegas. BQ times were easier to get then but the science for nutrition during the race was not there so it was just grab a cup of what ever at the aid stations. I crashed at mile 25 and lost my sub 3 but ended up getting my BQ because I put it all out there like you did. You WILL GET your BQ.... just keep trying and learn along the way. Keep fit and choose a better course.
Ya did your best and prepped in due diligence and was rewarded with rare and valuable experience that not many can claim to have. No BQ this time around but I'm sure you'll get the BQ next year. Keep pusheen :D
Much thanks to you brotha, your presence and support made this experience so much more valuable.
Great race! I also make running videos and I love the way you put this together! Cheers man!
I understand you are disappointed you did not reach your BQ goal - but with the average marathon finishing time of more than 4 hours, you should be VERY PROUD of yourself for being at least an hour faster than the average marathoner. Well done!
New sub: great job I def seen you.. was attempting sub 3 as well . I actually got it 2:59.51 - I believe you went out a bit fast my belive in the beginning tho you did great my man cheers to more miles
Amazing job
Ayyee awesome time! Good job! And yea I realize I was definitely greedy 🥲
Great work out there! Thanks for sharing. Also, you think you’ll do CIM again?
Thanks! I think so, need my redemption 😤. Great finish to you as well at CIM! I look forward to your 100-miler
@@alvinma2460 looking forward to seeing you crush it again! Appreciate the support. I’m in the way over my head 😆
LOL so funny spotting someone you know of, from the back. Heather Schulz in front of you at 08:20 in the video
WHOA, good eye!
Nice race vlog! What camera & stick do you use?
Thanks! This was using the GoPro Hero 11 Black with the shorty mini extension tripod!
Way to battle man, are those the adios pro 3s? That would be a sub 3 in chicago vs those rollers the whole way. Man what happened to that guy in front of u near the finish, calf cramp?
Yup, adios pro 3s. Yea 😞, I think he was cramping somewhere..
Alvin it was those first miles!! You can’t be in the 6:30’s. I was there and ran 2:59:35. Join my team and my coach will get you to Boston
indeed it was 😩. Congrats on the sub-3!!
I also crashed and burned 😔
I feel ya :(
