Yet again, I'm going to be annoyed as hell for the rest of the day. As the omen's race started so slow, the men are running faster so the two races will end very close to eachother.
Again, once rasce should start when the other is at halfway. No farther than 30k.
And who do you give the cooler weather (advantage) too? I would say, in New York at least, the men should start earlier as the women run so slow they could use the warmer weather to warm them up.
Shalane will show her true colors today, she fades and struggles near the end. Remember her history as a marathoner. Des in over her head today.
Today shows the light on how bad American women marathoning is when the big girls show up and race.
The woman's race is a great watch!
They did it. They beat me. They won; I lost. I'm going to watch NFL pre-game and watch the marathon on mute with ample FF later on today.
Kitara is fucking gone now and ESPN does not care.
Who is the loser that threw confetti in the leaders’ faces? Dumba$$.
Wow, Mary did a sub-5 mile at Mile 16.
Tusa, i.e. Vaporflys, will win this one.
Lol, this women's break they're gonna go grind themselves into dust. Going too fast.
Did anybody else see someone throw confetti on the women's leaders? What a jerk!

I swear, ESPN needs to contract out to the Japanese to cover the marathon.
It's akin to the world series in the 5th inning cutting away to do a human interest story on some kid in the stands. Then come back and 3 runs were scored. Wtf. Show the race and let your commentators do their job by selling the drama.
Kieffer vs Steph Bruce could be interesting after this week's Instagram war
Vivian starting her chase dropping the chase pack.

You know, we b*tch all the time about terrible marathon coverage and networks missing breaks.
This is the first time I can remember networks actively cutting away from a break WHILE IT IS IN PROGRESS!!!
No, it's standard procedure - producers actually considers that suitable cliffhangers that will get a majority of the audience to stay tuned and watch the commercials, which is what pays for the whole shebang so they must cut in for them in the staytuniest way possible.

No ! far more important we don't have to listen to Josh Cox today!
She's gonna blow...
Sarah Sellers slowing. Now at 2:35 pace
I started watching maybe 15 minutes ago, and they haven’t shown the elite men once in that time.
