Sample C said he wouldn't be allowed to run because NOP was going to be busted before Boston. maybe the race director will come out and tacjkle him and Hasay during the race as a tribute to Katherine Switzer.

Deba dropping further back still!
Deba is struggling in the women's race.
Communications are struggling in the NBC feed.
Quick Question: If a non-elite athlete runs the race of his/her life and somehow comes in Top-10, is he or she eligible for prize money or no?
The NBC stream is embrassingly bad.

I think it's obvious what is going on here...
He is clearly going after the Guinness World Record for "Fastest Marathon in Half Tights"
Annnnd cue every loser HS runner doing their next season in half tights.

Seems like something Wardian would do
The shorts over half tights would be the better record to go for.

For women, you had to have started at the earlier elite women start time to be in the hunt for prize money.

Good move by Des to start shedding potential kickers early, who can't handle low 2:20s but might win a footrace in a high-2:20s run.
People who say her pushing the pace is dumb are...dumb.
Why isn't Hasay in half-tights??
I hate that the ladies are making Desi do all the work right now.
Only took about 20 minutes to get the "go onto your treadmill and run at 12 mph and this is what they're running" line. Can't beat going down to the 'ol local track though.

The best race for Desi would be if others took the lead and hammered a suicide pace with lots of surging. She would continue to run her own pace and begin to pick everyone off with even splits as they crash and burn.
But, that is not how the race is unfolding so Desi's next best option is to not let it remain too slow for too long because if it is a 20 mile jog and a 10K race, she is probably losing to half the lead pack at least.
Hopefully, once she narrows down the lead pack, the others will begin to fight each other and she can take advantage but avoiding any crazy surges and pick off the carnage.
Yeah, I'm with you on this. She'll continue to lead while it's in her best interest.

TSN2 in Canada is fantastic.
Race will be one of attrition.
Why not trust your fitness, wait for the blow ups and pick off the detritus?
So yes, she can blow by them later, youve seen Boston and the 11 minute miles by the Kenyans in the last four mileszzz.
Men run 4:46 for mile 4, the fastest of the races so far. 19:44 total time. Still around 20 guys up there.

YOU HEARD IT FIRST HERE FOLKS, RACE IS GOING UNDER TWO HOURS TODAY!
Smart play, Meb may not be the doctor but he always knows whats going on
Am I not seeing it, or is Rupp definitely not in those Sub2 shoes. Looks like just Nike Zoom Streaks, no?
I've seen Facebook live streams with an i-phone that were better than what NBC can hash together.
