Only one woman, Buzunesh Deba in 2014, has ever broken 2:20 in Boston. 14 women are currently on pace for that at the half. Top women are on 2:17 pace -- looks like they don't want to let Hellen Obiri play sit and kick again (though she's still there).

Wish Mantz would stop leading. Seems like he's setting himself up for an Emma Bates-type performance where he runs great but costs himself a couple places by leading so much
Generally agree, but that's where he's comfortable. He runs that way all the time. It's probably better for him to just run his style of race.
No he did a good job drafting when he ran his half marathon record
