Official 2022 Boston Marathon Live Discussion and Coverage Thread

Men's wheelchair 1 mile split had to have been under 90 seconds!

nope, 2:07

Doesn’t look safe, especially when they’re in a tuck with head down.

Does Honda make wheelchairs?

Oh no. Swaangard was just 'bragging' how they were going to a 4 pic. split screen when the Men & Women runners start! Say it aint so.

Wonder if there are any ‘Thons that have a unicycle category?

Yep, some of the best carbon racers are Honda

USA shows are very diverse.

My picks:

Kipruto - Cherono - Kam

Joyciline - Peres - Azimeraw

Top man caught and passed. He had his 5 minutes of camera time.

@Brojos can you please ban this guy, at least for the day, so he doesn't fill up yet another thread with his stupid comments playing this character?

Thanks!

Sounds plausible. For sure Kamworor is too highly ranked in the L.R. poll

Drafting should be banned.

I’m just back from the course, looks like a fast day, I’m thinking 2:04/2:05. Security is very tight, I can see snipers on top of the bank in Coolidge Corner.

Missed seeing price of gas at the Shell station.

Are the wheelchair racers allowed to push from behind? Looked like Pike and Romanchuk are working together with some type of bumping strategy.

The weather did not end up being perfect. Temps are 46 but when I wrote my article a week ago, it was supposed to be 100% overcast with a tailwind. Instead, it's very sunny and there will be a light head/cross wind. It was like low 50s here yesterday and sunny here I'm at (DC) and I thought,, "Wow, this is a little warm. If I was in a marathon, I'd want it to be cooler and less sunny."

90 days?

I run better in sunshine as long as humidity isn’t crazy.
