I missed her puking. Did she continue running WHILE throwing up? I can verify that it's very, very hard to do that.

She just kind of turned to the side and spat. Didn't interrupt the stride at all. It looked like a normal spit until you could see it was several ounces of green/brown fluid...

I think Deba just threw up her snacks...

This is it.

Jeptoo wins. Deba might even end up third.

5:35 for Deba, 5:16 for Jeptoo mile 21. Gap down to 1:01.

She should catch her but that's the least she's made up since mile 17. Now she can see them in front. That should help.

He's run 6 marathons already this year !

What country are you in?

Here's the link for others (thanks to the original person who shared the link):

Yes. The announcer said she had missed some of her fluid

pickups, and took a big gulp on the last one.

I didn't see it as a big retch; more like spitting out some

puke.

Maybe they could show a replay.

jeptoo made up another 16 seconds from 21 miles to 21.7 35km.

45 seconds behind now. A tough way to win $500,000.

If somehow Deba has something left this could be interesting but they almost never do when caught.

It would be the first time I've seen someone caught like this.

ABC commentator referring to Jeptoo: "She's not the prettiest to look at, aesthetically"

Weldon is in charge of the women's updates right now but here is a deep list of women at mile 20 for all of those of you watching beyong the leaders:

If the NY Marathon had been on a track, Deba would have lapped Jeptoo twice. That would be quite a comeback if Jeptoo wins this.

That's pretty incredible. I have somewhat of a problem at the tail of end races. I try to step up the pace and occasionally vomit.

What happens is that as you try to take another stride, your abdominal muscles sharply contract, and make it extremely hard to take a "normal" step. It's like your whole body curls into a ball.
