I always thought Desi would win one. No other marathoner knows their capabilities and uses that to adjust to conditions the way she does.

So WTF happened to Kirui?
Was there really a 90-second gap, or did the splits get screwed up, maybe because of the weather?
They were correct. He was a dead-man running for the last couple of Ks.

Crazy how some of these people like Sarah Sellers were probably gunning for a top 25 finish at best, and she walks away with $75,000
BEFORE tax :^)

Why can so many elites not handle the weather? Shameful.
Do you think average runners handle the weather better than elites?
He fell off a cliff, knew he was done when he could never get the jacket unzipped
Desi confirms she wasn't feeling great in the beginning and considered she might not finish. So offered to help Shalane when she stopped for the bathroom break.

She didn't assist Shalane in the potty.
How long until NOP releases a statement from Rupp?
JUST KIDDING I DONT CARE, F@CKING KAWAUCHI WONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!
Why did Molly not do so well in this weather? She is used to this weather, and has trained in similar conditions. Those tough, cold NYC half marathon races, etc.
I'm absolutely shocked that she didn't win this type of race.

Des waiting back for Shalane was awesome. What a classy athlete.
She has no chance of winning anyway.
You were saying?
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
