I just have one question for the commentators:

Ummm... ever heard of Jordan Hasay?

on point my man, on point.

They must've heard me.

Jordan's looking mighty fine ... she's running well too

The Boston web site video is not working.

The NBC site doesn't recognize my internet provider.

What are some non proprietary free internet links? Thanks

Great timing, NBC

I saw it just fine.

HASAY SUFFERING?

Yeah was gonna say Rupp is dressed more like a hobby jogger today!

Sorry to ask a dumb question, but is Rupp obviously wearing the Magic Sub 2 shoes ? How about other Nike athletes ? Will this guarantee a new course record (since the old record were set with "non magic shoes" , i.e., old technology) Or did the tailwind on that record day negate the +4 % slower shoes? so many questions.

The LRC audio doesn't work either, wants me to sign in.

CBS got it - strong effort by both leaders, but VanDyk was toast. He gave a shot at the pass, but he was doing all he could just to hold on to Hug.

Doesn't look it to me, right there running with the lead pack looking comfortable.

Women just dropped a 5:17 on mile 12. Linden leading, Hasay right up there in lead group. Here's everything that has happened so far.

Mile 1: 5:55 Deba starts pushing after mile mark, then Baysa takes over just before mile 2

Mile 2: 5:36 (11:31) Baysa leading up front

Mile 3: 5:37 (17:08)

5K: 17:45 Baysa. 14 women in lead group. Deba and Linden sharing lead after 5k.

Mile 4: 5:32 (22:41) Linden takes lead to push pace but after pace increases, she backs off a little and lets Baysa take over again. But then Linden starts pushing again.

Mile 5: 5:44 (28:25) After seeing split, Linden starts pushing in earnest. Deba dropping off.

Mile 6: 5:21 (33:46) Fastest of the race

10K: 34:58 (17:13) They’ve picked it up and with Linden in front, they’re now on 2:27:32 pace. Lead pack is 13, Deba still there at the back.

Linden still pushing, dumping water on her head at aid stations.

Mile 7: 5:35 (39:22) Linden still leading the way.

Mile 8: 5:27 (44:49) Still Linden

Mile 9: 5:20 (50:09) Linden leading. 2:26:05 marathon pace. Desi Linden is doing what she needs to do: upping the pace. Lead pack is stringing out with a couple women dropping off.

15K: 51:54 (16:57) 11 women in lead pack. Now dropping to 9 with Nukuri struggling to hold on as number 10. Deba and Baysa have both been dropped.

Mile 10: 5:26 (55:35) 10 women. Nukuri holding on at back.

Mile 11: 5:33 (1:01:09)

Mile 12: 5:17 (1:06:26) Chepkirui and Nukuri both dropped after mile 12.

By far the best free stream available, with good coverage of the race.

CANADIANS,

Is TSN showing the CBS feed? It is hard to know.

Larry and Al seem to be the names of the talkers.

agree, she'll be in the mix at the end.
