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.

Hey ESPN, there's vomiting going on!! SHOW THE BARF!!

Aaaarrrrggghhhh

What horrible biomechanics from Jeptoo. Cant believe she is as good as she is in a marathon with that kind of motion.

Commentators didn't know they were still on air. Classic.

"She's like a chariot with blades sticking out."

this is great--they don't know that they're speaking live. I was hoping to hear a gaffe, but thankfully John Anderson is a professional.

funniest was the chick, "they're making me sweat"

I see Keptoo

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.

Yeah I've had that too. I was thinking, "I gotta learn how to puke like that!"

You have ZERO idea what you are talking about.

Mile 22 only 38 seconds back.

They forgot to mute the mics during the last break and the commentators were all making fun of Jeptoo's form. Now I could listen to 26 miles of that type of commentary without all of the bullshit sad stories that are suppose to inspire me.

Oh Im sure I dont..she looks just classic.

What did they say?

Arile looks so smooth, but has been running on the front constantly like a dummy.

Jeptoo's left side is solid, it's just the right side that look to have been injured at some point. How does she get away with it? ...she's extremely light for her height.

She made up 16 seconds on mile 23. Least she's made up in a while but she's only 22 seconds back.

Nothing she can do I don't think.

Jeptoo's form makes her look like she has down syndrome.

Jeptoo!

Twende kazi!
