D'Amato @ 2:22:55

D’Amato 2nd in 2:22:55. PR by 11 minutes and 29’seconds.

What a year for her. My goodness.

Holy crap. Keira D'Amato. 12-minute PR, top 10 all time.

Sara Hall/cameraman trolled us there for a sec ?

This women’s coverage has been appalling for the last 20+ minutes. Had no idea what pace Sara Hall was on, or whether she was still on AR pace. Haven’t seen the race for 2nd, 3rd, 4th women in ages. Just like the trials, women’s coverage fails again. Men’s race is minutes off AR pace, and it’s more of a priority.

Wait... when they showed the 40k split, you couldn’t fill in the gaps? Cmon man. Agreed that the coverage for the women’s finish left something to be desired though. I would give the coverage a B+ overall. Would’ve been a strong A were it not for the womens finish.

Nick Willis 2:13???

Gotta be a different Nick Willis right? Or did he just casually run 2:13 without telling anyone he would even be there?

Looks like Taylor had Bates and a few others just back of her.

I sure hope they have drug testing at the Marathon Project...not saying she's doping but she's never shown any capability of running these times before last year.

So happy I now know the age of every female in the top five. Thanks Marathon Project!

He was a pacer

She pulled off a 20 second negative split

Man, those male pacers for Sara were awful. Screaming in her face at points and wouldn’t even get out of the way for the finish line photo. Just STFU, do your job, and then get out of the way. Particularly green shorts guy. What a tool.

Emma Bates is on an awesome trajectory. She will be banging heads with the leaders next year.

No....looks like he dropped out at around 18-20 miles (his last split was at 30k and he was running 5:30 pace), then maybe came near the finish line/crossed the mat to stop the clock at 2:13.

Marty wins, Colin Bennie 3rd- really good day for Coach Fox and the Reebok guys.

D'amato also doesnt have 15 years of world class racing on her body. But, yes, it is weird that she picked this time to drop all of these stellar times

Ah I was waiting for Kara Goucher comments

"before the shoe technology"

Cant she just congratulate Sara?? I thought she only hated Nike
