Does anyone know if Suguru Osako has even run a marathon before?! Can't believe he's right there.

I'm starting to think Rupp is going to wi this. No way for 40ye arold Abdi or Orako.
Kirui didn't have big training. Kitwar is barely hanging on.
Oh that leaves Chebet. His agent was raving about him. So Rupp or Chebet most likely.
It would be kind of awesome if Osako won! Great run by him regardless.
It's his debut marathon.

Funny. You know Scott Simmons of ADP will be three sheets to the wind after boozing it up along the race course in Boston. I think there's a pub on every corner.

No hitch in his gate, the PF not seeming to bother him a bit.
Funny how no one seems to care as much about running the tangents as Rupp does.
Once he jerks towards the tangent, everyone else just tags along

*gait.
Rupp just took FOUR cups of water like he is the king.

3:12:45 pace thru 15k. Still a long way to go. He'll find a way (probably a car..possible the subway) to make up that minute over the final 27k to break 3:11:45.

Lead men at 30K
7 Rupp, Galen (USA) 17 Male 18-39 OR 02:10:49
9 Biwott, Shadrack (USA) 21 Male 18-39 CA 02:10:50 12:10:51PM +00:01 01:33:01
I wonder if Galen and Shadrack are still buddies from their U of O days tormenting others?
Rupp, Kirui and Abdi with a little gap now after that water station.

Rupp looks awesome.
Dude she has like a 3 block lead! 2nd place isn't even in sight!
It's over
Nothing is over until we say it is.

"I am full of 170 heart rate"
"Heart rate vary widely"
"my biggest heart rate was into a mystery, wrist style"
"I am 40 years old, I have had a heart rate for a very long time"
"Meow"
"This year only one year old people often run 170 can run for more than 1 hour" WTF?
This country has nuclear weapons, folks.

That would be hilarious. This is just a race where no one is doing it.
They are on 2:11 pace at 20 miles and there are only 3 guys in the lead pack. Come on. It's 2017 not 1977.
It's going to be Rupp or Kirui and Canova said Kirui didn't train much for this race.
The final 3 are Kirui, Rupp and Abdi.
"Galen looks quite majestic."

If he does win LRC will claim it's a "weak" field
Definitely not that strong.
That Japanese guy is on his debut. Abdi is 40 and I'm not sure who the other guy is.
No but a 1:01 half. The guy's no piker.
down to 3 and Rupp is among them
Two Americans in lead 3-man pack.
And American Women running 3-4.
Wow.
