Some serious nip chafing for Arciniaga

Its part of the grand marketing scheme. Next week, they roll out a new nipple anti-chafing product.

Kipsang said something to him, too. I wonder what he said.

Whatever it was, it was awesome.

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE

probably something along these lines

Thought Vail looked real clear in the face and eyes at his finish. Where is Luke Puskedra?

Ha! That look Kipsang just gave Desisa before destroying him was awesome...

It was a "WTF do you think you're doing, fool?" Kind of look.

Not bad for an old guy but shows how lucky Meb was in Boston. The top top guys are on another level nowadays. That was an epic ownage by Kipsang. He could have run a minute faster.

Nick Arcinaga has some serious nipple damage.

I predict a sponsorship by NipEaze or NipGuards.

Maybe the tata group?

Kipsang just consumed Desisa's soul with that glare and move. Ouch.

That was awesome! Kipsang says something along the lines of "U f*ckin wot m8" and then he drops the hammer and destroys him.

...and, it looks like Luke will not quite catch Desi.

So, 2nd-place for the Americans --sort of.

Oh well. Maybe the second try will go a lot better than the first.

I thought so, too. Vail looked good.

So considering today, who are the 3 US women in Rio?

1: Shalane Flanagan

2: Des Linden

3: ?

Maybe somebody from : Hastings, Wade, Santucci, Kleppin, Burla, Bersagel, Goucher, Kastor

I guess I'd bet Hastings

How\'s bob Kennedy doing?

1:43:55 at halfway.

Picking it up the 2nd half, 7:40-8:00 miles.

Projected finish (as of 30k)...3:25

Thank you so much, LetsRun, for the commentary here. It was a bit frustrating watching the coverage on ESPN2 this year. Much appreciated the play-by-play here (and, of course, the periodic funny comments by the posters!)

Will look forward to the post-race feedback from you.

For the record, the women did embrace a few minutes after the finish. It looked genuine not a pose for the crowd.

No idea about Keitany and Sumgong -- though they congratulated each other a few moments later -- but I rarely if ever see the Kenyan and Ethiopian top finishers acknowledge each other after finishing. I am sure it happens with some, sometimes, but it seems to me to be uncommon. They seem really enjoy beating each other as decisively as possible.

Desi's surge got her an additional $5k !

I really doubt he would talk like a 'tard.

Don't cry mom!
