Hopefully that will be his marathon pace in 3 months.

Good race by Meb... not too far from Mutai. I'm glad he might extend his career.

Nice run for Krause.

Looks like he was about 10 seconds per mile off of what he wanted to run.

“My 10-K fitness isn’t great but I’m super strong right now which I think is where I want to be,” said Hall, who is making his TD Beach to Beacon debut. Saturday’s race along the Maine coastline will serve as a test, one which Hall hopes to pass by averaging under 4:40 minute-per-mile pace

32:55 for alexi pappas. pretty solid off of a 15:47 5000m.

Those times are actually more or less equivalent, but since the 15:47 was on a track the 10K today was clearly a superior effort. Good to see one more American under 33 on the roads and Kastor really showed her stuff today.

Pappas looked to have had some intestinal problems when she ran past where I was watching. Dark streaks down the back of her legs.

Kastor looked great, as did Meb, Hall looked pretty rough going up the short but steep hill as you enter Fort Williams.

Pappas was incredible, she takes this big dump right along the side of Old Ocean House Road in front of a half dozen people and is liking poop jokes the whole time!!

32:55 with a crap break has to be worth a 32:05 B standard on the track!

AWESOME RUN BY KRAUSE

-represent WISCO

Low 29s? High 28s?

interesting hall was 1 minute 40 seconds behind the mens winner, and 1 minute 40 seconds ahead of the womens winner.

timewise exactly between the 2 winners.

Great run by Gemma Steel. Coming in, her pb was just 32:34.81 on the track and 32:06 on the road. She's run 70:46 fo 13.1. Anyone know her plans upcoming plans? Marathon debut??

Does the IAAF take road times for Worlds? Someone get her on a plane to Moscow.

Woah, just had go look up this Alexi pappas girl to investigate. She's pretty sexy! She might push the artificial hipster look a bit hard, but she's got the looks that's for sure. I have no issues with her bathroom break.

Hall now just B level runner as well as Meb , funny they still get the hype , note most recent NYC marathon press release , title should read the "race of the has beens"

Yes, that's extremely interesting!

...either that or it's a simple, meaningless coincidence stemming from the vagaries of timed foot racing.
