Official 2016 TCS New York City Marathon Live Discussion Thread

I think he was waving Buh Bye. Seriously. Can anyone rewind and check?

Kim Conley bonking now...

Desisa needs to get it together, the seconds group is 2:17 down. If he runs more 5:30 miles, he'll finish outside the top 10

Huddle is still running faster than Kipyego. still a big gap though, but enough time to catch 3rd place

I'm looking at the leg turnover.

Keitany now appears to be feeling it a bit.

This isn't being hyped enough on this thread or by the commentators, but they are FLYING. Mutai's dominating performance is under gthreat.

NO CHANCE. The course record is 2:05:06.

He's on 2:06:54 pace.

HEre are his splits from 14-20.

4:45

4:48

Mutai was faster than they are now at 30k and then CRUSHED the end of the 2011 racde.

Mutain ran a 4:31 21st mile that gave him a 3-second lead. Less than a mile later 35km (21.7miles), he was 17 seconds in front. The lead would only get bigger as Mutai kept the pressure on. He kept hammering miles in the 4:30 range as he covered the 3-mile stretch from 20-23 in an incredible 13:35 (4:31.8 avg. pace).

Wow, Desisa is done for the day. Bet he drops. Rotich is going backwards, thos fast miles on 1St Ave burn (done it). Abdi for 2nd?...Pennel top 5?

Abdi, Kipsirio, Biwott, Yamamoto and Yae Dabi are still together. It will be tight the last 6 miles. Ritz is toast.

Ritz out?

And once again a "brave" American sets up an East African for an epic performance.

RITZ IS DONE.

Womens CR

Molly huddle 19 seconds back, after pulling back 5 in the last mile. She's on track, and could get 2nd with the way Chepkirui is fading.

Huddle can get second!

DNF. Give the Glory to God.

Ritz out!

Go Molly, go!

Ritz dropped out? I didn't see the beginning, but why the hell was he pushing the early miles just to drop out?! Such an American move in a marathon. And yes, I'm American.

Crazy Biwott dropped so early.

I rewound it. You're right, he was saying "See ya!".

Good point. and both kipyego and huddle are catching kipkirui

Huddle could get 2nd if she has a kick. she's gained on Kipyego about 5 seconds each mile, only 20sec back currently
