Official 2017 Chicago Marathon Live Discussion Thread

That's 5:30 am in California.

Hmm I got up at 6:30 this morning. Maybe I'll see the last half.

Does anyone know if it's on the free internet?

The wildcard in all of this is Dennis Kimetto, because we know his ability and he is the WR. But he hasn't done anything since then. So what type of shape is he in? If he is up for it, then he will blow the race wide open.

My three picks are;

1.Kimetto

2.Abel

3.Feyisa

All three know the course EXTREMELY well, and all three can run 2:05 or faster.

Tadese will pace, and I'm pretty sure he will go in with a new found confidence and a better understanding of how to run a marathon. I'm sure he learned a lot from the Breaking 2 project. But he will fade like Marty's parents in a polaroid picture once he gets past 21km!

Most accurate prediction yet:

JS will claim to have coached whoever the Men's winner is and to have nearly coached, after phone and email communication, the Women's winner.

He ran 2:10 taking no water!

He will take fluids and thereby lay down a 2:14.

You're mixing up Tadese and Desisa.

Tadese runs 2:10 without water.

Desisa tanked at breaking-2:00. Tadese did well.

Waiting for the start from Koper, Slovenian. It's 1.36 pm.

JS doesn't communicate through the phone. So he's actuallly never even heard the voice of the runners he "coaches" which he also sends money to. So he pays to coach people - not the other way round! The guys a joke and should be banned from the site to protect himself. It's not nice that we're all laughing at the brain damaged swede

its time!!!! Lets go NOP!

Didoper is going to shatter Paula's record. She is doped to the gills!

Hasay is a white goddess.

Hope the stream starts smoothing out. Keeps cutting every 15 seconds. Got CarrieTollefson, Ed Eyestone, Todd Williams & 'The Btit' on the NBCChicago coverage, so will get decent commentating between the plethora of reports from the weather lady.

Is it just my connection or is everyone's skipping a bunch. I missed part of Jordan's interview.
