What a debut.
I still remember in 2017 when she broke 65 for the half, a lot of people said she would disappear or get busted in a year or two.
I remember being in the thick of that fight. Good thing I’ve mellowed since and I’m a much nicer person now.

Keitany is adidas runner too. But she was wearing different shoes than Jepkosgei. Different color, at leadt
Keitany wore the Adizero Pro. Jepkosgei had the same shoe that all adidas runners had in Doha. It's not Adios.

With Brett Robinson in the lead, I have our question of the day - When was the last time a white guy was leading the 2nd half of the New York City Marathon?
Apparently a dutch guy had the lead a few years ago? Anyone remember the year?
Bob Kempainen of Minnesota was in the lead at mile 22 or so in 1993 and finished 2nd.

Main sponsor is a consulting company and they cannot provide an app that displays more than 10 runners?
Why are the times slow? Not just the elites but many runners I am tracking are slowing down. Not all but most.

I am usually pretty tolerant of even marginal event coverage, but this ESPN coverage is so...so...BAD. I think I’ve seen a total of about 10-15 min of actual running so far. I would have just recorded it and played it back but the damn thing started at 9am.
I expect nothing less of ESPN after the past few years. Glad we got see the tool from sport science analyze runner tracker of retired New York Giants players and an interview with the bachelor runner up. That's what everyone wants to see.
I wish the New York RR would come to their senses and get someone who knows how to cover marathons do the coverage. One good thing I can say for Doha is the coverage was fantastic, so it can be done. But NYRR doesn't give a crap, as long as 50K people pay $300 to run their marathon they're happy to let ESPN make a mockery of the elite event.
As I type this we missed the break in the womens race, sure if a few minutes we'll miss it in the mens race as well.
If you want to see a really well-covered race, watch the Toronto Waterfront Marathon on YouTube. Those darn Canadians know how to do it. Basically, America sucks as far as marathon coverage.
As Jepkosgei was closing in on the finish in NY, they didn't even have the race time on the screen to show how close she was to the course record. And, of course, they didn't show the men's pack breaking up either.
However, if you're really into Poker Championships or Monster Trucks, ESPN (which we actually PAY to watch!), is your channel.
Kamworor had the pink next%
Korir the new Adidas pro?

They have a column labeled “pace” but I can’t decipher if it is for the last segment, last 5k, last k, or running pace.

Gebre’s shoes were bright neon green, which I think were Vaporfly but not sure

for the color it could be both... I can't find a picture anywhere!! the main visual difference would be the next% has the massive swoosh over the toe box, while the 4% FK only has it on the sides.
Anybody has a picture?
Does not present their analytics capabilities very well. I feel local turkey trots do a better job for fans.

https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2019/11/03/new-york-city-marathon-2019Anyone know who coaches Sara Hall? I think I read she was going to be "unconventional" and run NY after running Berlin. Instead of being a confidence-booster, what happens when you train for - and then drop out of marathon? Ryan Hall had incredible talent but never really achieved what he was capable of, which was winning major marathons. His racing strategy was always off too, always wanting to lead from the start. I hope Sara doesn't burn herself out. I guess I'm saying that hubby Ryan might not be the best influence for her.

I think I've read somewhere that her "bad influence hubby Ryan" is the one coaching her. Could be wrong. God himself was supposedly once coaching Ryan, so yeah I don't think either takes who is their coach very seriously.
2:12:07 debut from BYU alum Connor McMillan!

That's a fantastic debut! Maybe a dark horse at the Olympic trials?
Kamworor ran only 2:08 in Vaporflys so he is at best a 2:10 runner in regular shoes?
