25th mile in 4:41.
The crazy thing is the NY course record will likely be faster than Chicago's!!!

So, great debate, would Mary have won if she had not run like a fool? Why do elites still make elementary mistakes.
Ego. I wonder if she would have gone out so hard if Shobukhova hadn't just posted such a fast time?[/quote]

Mary could have gone out in 70 minute and won it. 68 was suicidal--I don't know what she was thinking--or not thinking.
And Mutail is a monster.
Slightly off-topic but more thoughts on curtis:
I'm sure 2:13 (how it looks like he'll finish up) won't be what he wanted or maybe what people expected but for a guy who ran mile-3k-5k only in college it ain't bad.
His best event now is the 10k and this marathon experience and training will certainly improve his strength for the 10k.
In the future I can see him running a great marathon but he probably just doesn't have the aerobic background or experience yet.

So I guess running NYC after the Pan Am marathon 2 weeks prior wasn't the best idea after all....(!)
Ouch. She was looking pretty rough

It really should be Kirui, G Mutai and Mosop. Makau's world record might get him picked over Mosop, but Mosop being on G Mutai's tail at Boston is in my mind superior.
Gotta hand it to Mary..she's got spunk and not afraid to give it a go.
OUCH! Jaguar1 just looked horrible :(
What the hell is G. Mutai doing in his training?

What was Mutai's last 10k?
How ironic is it that Chicago is course in the World Marathon Majors with the slowest CR?

The universal sports announcers are awful. Why is this Meb's "race of his life"? He only beat his PR by 3 seconds.

Wow. She blew up worse than Keitany. Kidane was right with the chasing pack until Dado and Deba set off on their own.
PR at age 36!!!
