pretty close race, pretty solid times too...the first half of the race is all rolling hills in central park so that is very solid even if the 2nd half of it was relatively flat. looks like meb and abdi are on their way to nice marathons soon--if tergat were there he would have run sub 1 01 i predict

The weather was not ideal today. Very humid. But the raced did finish up the last 4 miles with a nice tailwind along the Hudson. I'm sure the final splits were pretty fast.

Meanwhile, no American women in the elites:

there are no elite american women marathoners except for deena drossin. the only other worth talking over is jen rhines, and she was in europe and ran 14 55 for 5k and also ran a big PR in 10k earlier this season. shell be due for a big marathon as well soon.

I think you guys are underestimating here. Meb and Abdi ran awesome. 61 minutes is tremendous.

61:30s is not tremendous for sub 27:23 10k runners, Ramaala has broken 60 and his 10k PB is 27:29.

I noticed a decent headwind coming down the West Side, but that may have been due to the rain that started when I was at mile 10 (leaders had just finished). Not sure if a shift occured or not.

Why "that" course? It looks like an ideal course to me, the first 6 miles is the same loop that they run screaming fast 8ks on, 5.75 to 10 miles is downhill, 9 to 13 miles there's a tailwind. That's a dream course.

it's not even close to being as fast as the pancake track-like courses in Milan or Phoenix, etc.

That's because it's a downhill course.

Ndereba and Benita Johnson ran virtually together down the final stretch; Catherine just nipped her. The local ABC affiliate, WABC-TV, telecast the entire race and did postrace interviews with Nyariki, Meb, Ndereba, and Benita. Of course, all of this was before 8:30 in the morning on a Sunday, when there was othing ELSE to show, but it was a good package.
All-time lists

Meg and Abdi move to #3 and #6 on the All-time US lists. Did they get a split at 20k? They would have to be under the AR (although "assisted", more that 30% from start to finish), probably about 58:20.

Screaming fast 8k course is the other way.

This was a nice course and as good as you can hope for when it comes to August weather. Sun baked west side highway could've been tough. I didn't notice the tailwind, but you never notice the wind unless you're fighting it. A lot of people including me had waterlogged sneakers for the 2nd half.

That's why I noticed it. I wasn't running the race, simply jumped in as part of my long run. When I turned around at mile 10 to head back uptown... BAM! Right in the face. (although it was more of a crosswind off the river, so it did shift I am sure) The heavy rain had stopped by then.
