Goucher is right in front.
Goucher is right in front.
Ritche and Rupp both looking good. Couple guys in that lead pack look like they are in "I'm going to stay with the lead pack until I die" mode...barely 8 miles in and I'm guessing that lead pack will thin earlier than I expected.
Wait, Shalane's only been running for 10 weeks! CN I change my picks in the contest?
Why is there a giant freaking pole in the middle of the road, in a turn, on an Olympic trials course?!? That orange cone isn't going to help much when someone blasts into that...

Tyler McCandless (2:15:26)
Tyler McCandless is a top American distance runner part of Newton Running elite, a PhD student in Meterology at Penn State and an Olympic Hopeful for the 2016 games in Rio.
He’s based in the running mecca of Boulder, Colorado under the tutelage of coach Steve Jones, a former marathon world record holder.
I just threw up a little after reading your post. McCandless is a punk.
WTF is with all the obstacles and turns on the course?!?
Is the 'thon trial or f&cking Tough Mudder Spartan race?
Rupp looking a bit sketchy
Diego Estrada (7) – 1:00:51 half.
Rupp just doesn't look like a marathoner - too bouncy. im very curious to see how this turns out.
Rupp preparing for cross fit games?
mile 8, Total Time: 40:36
Last Mile: 4:56
Projected Finish: Moves are starting to be made! Elkanah Kibet and Sam Chelanga open things up a bit. Rupp has moved into 4th behind Ritchie to cover the move. Jon Grey of adidas, Ritz, Matt Llano of NAZ Elite/Hoke and Tyler Pennell of Zap Fitness all there. Soon after through the drink station Rupp takes the lead but settles back into the pack soon after.

Amy Cragg looks ripped. Never seen her look so fit. Anyone seen Goucher?
Yes, complete opposite of NYC when she hit the wall, which is why I didn't pick her for the contest. She looks like a shoe-in at this rate.
kara looks great to me - i'm optimistic for her
It's so weird how such a great athlete can be so goofy.
I think Rupp is falling back
Wow, that smog looks nasty.
Estrada, Ritz, and Kibet(I think) looked to be chatting and sharing a water bottle...
Rupp= take the damn necklace off
WE'VE GOT SPLITSCREEN BOYS
Why is Ritz up front? I like what Meb and Puskedra are doing: just chilling out.
