The fastest marathoner EVER is in this race, has been running for 40+ minutes, and I don't think we've seen him but a couple of seconds. WTF?

OK, the Universal feed keeps dropping and every time you restart it you have to watch that fucking commercial again.

Not worth it. I'm going running instead.

yeah it is absolutely killing me to watch the finishing sprint of the pushrim race instead of a pack of 20 people jogging through Framingham

Imagine if other sports were run like running (or some might say as poorly as running).

In no other sport, do organizers kill the drama. The men's and women's race are going to finish within 10 minutes of each other. Imagine if instead of staggering NFL games by 3 hours, they had them finish within 10 minutes of each other.

Imagine if in the NBA finals, they had a split screen and during much of it you had the pleasure of watching the paralympics version of the sport.

I'm sure there are some great wheelchair bball guys. why doesn't David Stern get smart and show them?

I really think Boston should be all women one year, London all men. Imagine that - we could just watch one race unfold instead of having the drama killed by distracted attention and poor tv drama.

I don't care about the Handi-man, show the Men's Race!

I'd rather watch a bunch of guys clipping out miles than a stupid interview.

Go to BAA.ORG and use the athlete tracking. They give 5K splits of whichever athletes you choose to track. Seems to be working so far.

Haha, are you some sort of sadist? If Randall finishes I will respect the hell out of him because it's going to get ugly.

I won't, that was stupid.

All that for some TV time. He'll be lucky to break 2:45.

Is the "slow" pace going to benefit the half marathoners? I think it definitley increases the likelyhood of an upset.

At 20K, Camille Herron (jaguar1) led the Americans, with Sheri Piers and recent citizen Nuta Olaru not far behind her. Herron is about 2:00 behind the leaders.
