Was there something about how the start was conducted that prevented Sara from going with Aliphine? Pretty sure she was welcome to do that - she gambled that Aliphine was making a mistake and was almost right. Almost.
Yeah, all the men in the way. Then a group pulling her along in the early stages. It definitely changed the dynamics of the race.
I dont think that makes a difference really. The elite half racers had their own start 10 minutes before everyone else (including the rest of.the half marathon field and the entire full marathon field), and there was only 75 total men and women for their start. So its not like you had a lot of men in the way to deal with.
