      • Rojo wants more play by play.

        On the men's race the top 4 have been going back and forth. It is hard to tell who looks good. These are the best 4 guys and the real race should start the last 10k so we have a few more miles to go.

        Just hit mile 17 on the men. 4:59 slowest mile of race.

        On the women's things are heating up. Katie McGregor dropped, Janet Cherobon-Bawcom dropping, Hastings starting to fall back. So that leaves Desi, Deena, Flanagan, Goucher, and Burla.

        He stopped to stretch his hamstrings according to RW- about 6-7 mins ago. They also say Ritz looks like he's struggling a bit. Is that true?

      • Just announced Mo Trafeh is 1:10 behind leaders.

        20 seconds behind him is the chasers so they are 1:30 back.

        Will 2 of these guys up front blow up? Ritz fell back a few meters.

        No they didn't. Re-read it.

        Go Serena Burla! Would love to see her upset the big names and get top 3.

        I saw that as well as RW said he was 10 meters back. I called our employee and he looked up at the screen and said, "He looks fine now. Is right there with them. They are all together."

      • Kastor failed to close gap, now back with Hastings. They're a couple seconds behind Davila, Goucher, Flanagan.
