Official 2020 US Olympic Marathon Trials Discussion Thread

Can someone comment on whether the wind is at their back right now? Or have they had a lot of downhills?

If not, we're looking at a bloodbath in the men's field the last 6 miles.

I guess Albertson shouldn't have been racing a marathon every week in his build up... that breakaway didn't last long

Schrader not even a dark horse but he sure looks strong right now.....

Just split a 4:44

Ad rates are less for split screen views.

Where’s Walmsley?

Unbelievable. The lead vehicle is giving Schrader a massive draft advantage. Amateur race coverage.

Someone legit like Hall in his prime or Rupp healthy would be what, 1:30ish ahead of this weak field if they wanted to?

Sara Hall seems to be working way too hard already. Body is rocking already, Huddle doesn't look very comfortable either but she has that deceptive style anyway. Taylor looks solid as does Sisson.

That's quiet the gap Schrader has already, unlikely but you never know.

Mile 10, Shrader up by 14 on Nestor and 55 sec on Rupp in 3rd...interesting.

Any notables drop off/out? I didn’t see Luke P or Korir listed on the broadcast’s top 20 sidebar.

WHAT are these guys talking about now?!? R U kidding me?

According to. Dark Sky, Wind is coming from the North West. so Place that on the map.

What happened to Puskedra. Why are we discussing hurdles and throws during this broadcast?

Unless it's been downhill and/or tailwind thus far, the top 20 or so guys went out too fast. This'll make it interesting.

49:07 for 10 miles. Fairly shifting on a hilly course. This boy gonna suffer
