Why is Molly weaving across the road away from the group? I've seen her do that a few times now. Then she rejoins them
She's needlessly attempting to lead or be up towards the front and she should just be tucked in the back drafting and not having to extend mental energy.
I think she skipped on purpose, because she had plenty of space to get over if she needed it, and she went to the following water table.
Amusingly, you could see Ben Rosario at the table Molly skipped, and he seemed to me a little surprised she went by. (but I can see it if her tummy didn't want the special drink)
I don't think any of the five are cracking
C'mon Molly! She's run on a broken leg or stress fracture or something, thinking that kind of pain in normal.
Small fields at the OG make the marathon accessible for people like Molly. She should not lead. She could medal.

eh maybe leading is giving her the adrenaline she needs and she's playing the mental game with the others, trying to make herself look stronger than she feels.
when you're ahead, people can't hear you breath.

Ice in the sports bra looks smart. Something for the men?

If you've watched some hotter ultras--yes, they do the same sort of thing using their water pack and shirt.
Guys I’m s***ing my britches in excitement!!!! Let’s go Molly!
chumba falling! one more to go molly. she needs to stay strong though or she'll get caught. those women behind are still pushing.
Chumba struggling!
Seidel + 2 Kenyans medaling would be awesome!
Chumba falling off the back, down to FOUR at 36k!!
is this the unlikeliest thing an American has ever done? i was shocked when Meb got silver but I feel like he was a bit more of a name than Seidel, even back then.
This time Seidel takes the drink
