1:50 into the race now. Smith and Gelana are breaking clear!!!
I spoke with Smith's new husband Pat Tarpy and her training partner - Amy Hastings - at Rosie O'grady's Friday night when the race was 'cancelled' and they said she was really fit. On the teleconference, smith had also said the $100k for that half marathon was always just a bonus - her goal was always NYC.
I guess they were all telling the truth. I thought some of it might be boastful talk at a watering hole.
Can anyone else on the course with a phoen tell us where the American women are? The guy on the bike is only staying with the lead women now as if he drops back, he can't catch up?
