Good...I hope he stops trying so hard. He's making some Larry Rawson type comments, trying to dumb it down for the penguins.
Agree with most everyone here that today is the day to try what Kim Smith is trying.
The breathe of God is pushing Ryan Hall into the lead with Juan Carlos Cardona beside him.
Cardona and Hall are talking to to each other upfront, only a few meters in front of the pack

Is this a repeat? Hall looking at his watch every 2 seconds? He's a weird dude.

Why is he wearing the watch? Does he count on the lead car to be too far away for him soon?
Can somebody provide milesplits for both the men and women. I am dying here as I have no way to watch this. Thank you!!!
The announcers on Universal Sports aren't giving Hall a chance. Hope he proves them wrong.
boston.com's live blog names Alistair Cragg and Moses Mosop in the same sentence:
"The field also includes two prominent international runners making their marathon debuts: Irish Olympian Alistair Cragg, a 13-time All-American and seven-time NCAA champion while running at the University of Arkansas, and Kenyan Olympian Moses Mosop, who has run 59:20 for the half marathon. "
smith's lead now 25 secs, though she isn't really slowing down, pack must be getting nervous
WWRHD? Apparently blow the race in the first 5 miles.
Mens pack has caught back up with Hall.
Hall pulls away slightly!
In that last shot is Davila off the second pack?
The CBS feed is great!!! this is the way to cover a marathon.
Hall takes the lead. Kenyans watch, mutter "this guy again?" ... roll eyes...
Smith through 10k in 33:28

I saw something saying Ryan's first mile was 4:36.
Desi is just behind the chase pack (and Kara) in the woman's race.
Hall went through 2k in 5:47 according to RW
yep...davila is about 8 second behind the main pack
