Amy going to try and stick with Desi.
Maybe she should have stuck with Desi throughout instead of Shalane b/c she is not able to hang on to Desi now.

Shame on you, knowingly allowing a 12 year old to read Letsrun.
Amy is in trouble. Damn.
Who are the guys running alongside the runners in the bike lane? The one guy in black looks like he could be a factor in the race if he jumped in.

Ya think those guys running along the side of the leaders realize what a bunch of dorks they look like?

Desi was just quoted as saying the olympic field is easier than the major marathons because there are only 3 kenyans and 3 ethiopians.
Rose Chelimo and Eunice Jepkirui Kirwa running for Bahrain are Kenyans so there are more than just 3. Are there others running for other countries? Are there more than just 5?
Desi Linden is the smartest woman in the race apparently
Desi will get 3rd.
Mazuronak is just a beautiful runner, great form, looks so relaxed, just awesome.
