Boston Marathon 2009: The scene on Heartbreak Hill

Newton locals John Rattigan, Susan Tarmy (of Wellesley), Pat McArdle, Tom "Tico" Terrio, Robert Megrotti, and Brian McArdle have an excellent view of the runners as they start the final hill. They're here for John O'Hara of Waltham, who is running his second marathon and is trying to break 3:30. But they're also huge fans of Kara Goucher, and were thrilled to see her leading on Heartbreak Hill.
