Come on Ritz. We need a new PR from you.
5:06 first mile
Perfect conditions.
Slow start.
out slow - but speeding up now. Ritz's pacer was leading the first mile or so...
Wow... It really was a 5:06 opening mile. But @ 39F @ the start, not that easy to blaze from the gun.
For those that didn't see the multiple other treads.

4:42? Guess they warmed up
4:42 second mile, apparently.
one of the biggest marathons in the world and the commentator on nbc doesn't know if they've passed 5k yet when they're at 2 miles. HELP.
just after two mile mark....Commentator..."have we hit the 5k mark now?"
4:42 2nd mile.
4:46 3rd mile
I recognize Reavis and Eyestone, who is the Brit commentator?

Still better than anything I've watched on Universal Sports.
They also have split screen at times and show the race during interviews. I'll take it.

Just a minor mistake. Mike Adamle has run several marathons and tris. He knows the sport.
