 OK - Someone had to do this...If we are going to endure 2:20+ of listening to this knucklehead then we should at least have some fun and document some of his better line... 1. "...with chambers of altitude to sleep in....." Next? |

So happy I'm watching this on Canadian TV so I can avoid Rawson. I see they're wearing chips, anybody know any site for splits? |

Larry's commentary is driving me nuts. If he incorrectly states how they are running slow one more time, i'm going to smash the television to pieces. Let's see here. 5:20 is 2:20 pace. Only what 3 women have ever broken that? Isn't that correct? They are running basically 5:30 pace here. He keeps commenting how it's 95 degrees out there. that's only worth 10 seconds a mile? You've got to be kidding me. I'm quite honestly that there are that many people up there and think Deena is being smart. Play it conservative. We're only 5.5 miles in. |

The worst thing about Larry is when he tries to relate personally to the runners...for example, when talking about Wahbe -- "It seems like she has a side stitch. Those are very painful...it makes it difficult to breathe. I have had a few of those in my career and they are painful." Friggin' idiot. However, I am just delighted that they are actually showing the marathon in its entirety on television...so, I will find a way to put up with Rawson. Hoovis |

how did i miss this one: "......these women's have V-8 engines in tiny bodies..." I'm just waiting for the inevitable reference to how many football fields long the marathon is and how fast I'm going to have to run around my local high school track to understand how fast these women are running... |
