BOULDER, Colo.—Colorado runners were among those who witnessed the exploding bombs at the Boston Marathon.
Over 500 people from the state registered for the race, including about 100 from in and around the running mecca of Boulder.
Mark Bockmann of Boulder told the Daily Camera () he believes he missed the explosions because he caught a second wind and was able to resume running toward the end.
Geralyn Eastman of Superior finished 12 seconds before the first explosion. She said her husband Grady suffered an abrasion on his leg from one of the bombs.
Boulder nurse Jessica Bianco said she didn’t hear the explosions because she was still running and in an underpass with a friend and her fiance. As they emerged, she said a police officer stopped the race.
