I am loving these camera angles. It started with the wheelchair. You can really see the speed they move. And some of the cameras feel like they’re in the middle of the pack.

Who is that guy in the yellow singlet sprinting out at the start of the mens pro race?
Is there an 800 meter bonus in play here? If so, C J Albertson nabbed it. Not even close!
They just said the Boston is a course where PBs don't matter.
I am not sure I really believe that. I wonder if that's true. They don't generally get the guys/gals with teh big PBs, but if they did, don't we think they'd largely win?
Yes, I criticize Kipchoge for never doing a non flat marathon.
But if we had a bunch of studs that I knew were good at non-flat marathons, I'd pick the one with the best marathon pb to win.
Like if Bekele was in shape, given his xc prowess, woudln't I pick him?
Jordan looks healthier.
Are the Scott's from NAZ in nike shoes?

I understand it's been all wheelchair coverage as I glanced at my phone and the staff is going off.
I will ignore their displeasure.
1) It is my understanding two leaders have broken free? How were they able to break free today but not yesterday? Is it cause it was so windy yesterday, you needed to draft?
2) Some wheelchair people are doubling, some aren't. Why?
3) Do your non-hard core letsrun friends enjoy the wheelchair coverage?
1) Leader guys (Albertson?) is his birthday - going for fame
2) WMM points
3) Nobody cares
Can they stop acting like Des Linden might win? I mean there is a zero percent chance she wins this race. I would have said that in 2018 as well if not for the weather. But this weather isn't goign to put that random winner up there

Pack will catch him around 5 miles, he'll be spit out the back around 7 miles, and a death march from mile 10 onwards.

It's rookie commentators, period. Both of them, including Croucher, will pump Desi. It's going to go on as long as she's in the lead pack. Accept it rojo.
C.ant J.og Albertson celebrating his birthday a few hours too early. (Banking some time? And how much interest will the bank charge him at the base of Heartbreak?)
Albertsons runs a 4:32 first mile. He’s a pro runner but he’s running like an amateur trying to get camera time .

I was at the Trials in Atlanta. He did the same thing after catching Luke early on. It didn't work out for him there either.
If the broadcast is going to spend the majority of the first hour of coverage on the wheelchairs, why don't they spent that time on the huge mechanical doping advantage that Hug has on the rest of the men's field? We need Rojo on the case.

Not likely. Do you know the course topography?

He was seventh. That's pretty impressive.
