Apologies if a thread has been made already. I think the weather (heavy rain showers) will be a big factor. Do the men start at 1:45am Pacific time? I call Wanjiru for the win, but "only" in 2:05:45. |

Hey Skuj - aren't you a bit old to be staying up past 10? How you gonna last 'til the winners cross the line at 3:51am? |

Just woken up. Time to shave and shower and sh*t and in four hours: to run! |

There aren't any kenyan women. |

Congrats Skuj! Though I imagine this puts a crimp in training. My usual approach for these over-night races is to get up at a civilized time, and then over a good cup of java (a) avoid any headlines that tell me who won in what time, and (b) head for the 'live updates', so I can scroll through and see how the race unfolded as if it were happening at this civilized hour (sorta how NBC shows all of its sports 'coverage')... |

I wish Rita Jeptoo is running. Any splits for the women's race? |

I hope Mikitenko loses. She's a shitty half marathoner. She doesn't have the sub 1:08 half marathon speed compare with Atsede Habtamu , Aselefech Mergia Dire Tune, Mare Dibaba. |

Mikitenko sucks. She runs so slowly and can't shake off anybody at chicago. Hope she finish last. |

It actually feels really nice running weather right now. Fingers crossed the showers hold off until afternoon. |

Just been out for for a walk to help digest breakfast. It feels pretty cool, with no wind. The sky is mostly clearing, so it could get warm later. |

I think Wanjiru will take. Tadese and Kebede are a threat to his title. |
