The Eurosport commentator has the Castilian "th" going with Perez. Nice. I'm sure Carol Lewis or Rawson is pronouncing it correctly, as well . . .

I noticed that the athlete tracker hasn't updated for awhile, too. Possibly the weather but more than likely a server problem.

BAA site crashed or something no updates in 32minutes, no runner tracking past 25k (men's) technology sucks

So TELL ME where are the men's pack now, what USA guys still in it. Please thanks!

Grigoryeva looks to take it in the slowest winning time since 1985, last time an American won.

BAA said it was 58 at the start, mid way it was 53. It appears now that its 46 in Boston. still not cold.

The women were taking water "religously" accourding to the Baa through 25k - indicating that they are more likely warm then cold.

They did fine in Chicago when it was 39-40.


Maybe now...and that doesn't include the wind chill when the wind picks up.

It was colder at the start.[/quote]

Yea too bad the race website and wbz radio feed both went down for the last 20 minutes! Eurosport radio and this site is good. Runnersworld has updates...

Lidia Grigorieva is going to win the women's. She ran a 5:10 mile according to Carool Lewis to pull away.

Men's race is down to 3, now 2 and they're not talking about it. It's Cheuryiot and James Kwambai.

Athlete tracker not working - live updates from friends on the course confirms all athletes I am tracking are still running. But no updates.

Damn

I like the way the Eurosport uses the Castillan 'TH' sound at the end of Perez' name.

The baa site is crap. Do you think they realized how many people would be hitting the site, since there was so little tv coverage?


John Burgholzer, technology coordinator for the BAA, said the site handled about 750,000 visitors and more than 6 million page views in the "relatively small window of six hours" on race day last year. That system held up successfully, but the BAA wanted the ability to scale the site this year and in coming years without adding many more servers or additional bandwidth.

Burgholzer said performance on the public Web sites "was a little bit faster" with Big IP during a stress test done a month ago in HP labs in Houston. But Big IP also offers "twice the scalability" of previous products, he added, meaning the BAA might need only half as many servers as the site grows.

"That means savings on space and bandwidth," Burgholzer said.
