I want every retard who said the weather (read:wind) didn't make a difference last to come on here and apologize to Malmo .... see, weather DOES make a difference. RETARDS!

Is this a serious comment?

Uli is a stud. He doesn't see weather like that in Seattle, that's for sure.

Martin ran a really smart race. He didn't kill himself and finished strong.

The times run today don't count due to the heat. Marathon times only count when there is no wind and the temperature doesn't change during the race. Too hot today=no official timing.

Respectfully, this is wrong. Wesley was an uninvited athlete to his 1st Chicago marathon. Had to start with citizens wave. Worked his way up to 4th overall. His chip time would have won that Chicago marathon, but results & money were based on GUN time.

Actually, that's not right either. In 2008 at Chiago, he finished 9th overall among the elite, but his chip time had him as the 4th fastest overall. His time would not have won, the top 2 ran over 6 minutes faster chip time.

You are correct that he started among the general wave, not with the elites.

He's also 40. First master?

No tailwind this year, really; it was mainly out of the southwest and even south.

You're looking at your map upside down. SW is a tailwind.

Great run by Martin. Has he graduated from Columbia yet? Has he raced any half marathons in the past even?

He graduated from Columbia, and has run for Hansons since last summer. He has a PR of around 1:05:30 for half-marathon at Grandma's last year.

and randall, finishing at 2:37, his last 5k at 21:18.

Amazingly, that got him 60th place.

So the great JK (coach and weather man) predicted the winning time again? NOT.

Randall update?

Thanks guys

Butters and Cartman the fastest non-kenians... well done colorado!

Cartman was in this? I wouldn't think his fat ass could run 26.2 FEET, let alone miles.

The weather and course have no effect except to make it easy on Boston runners. That's course is soooo fast.

Payouts...

Anyone know what they are?

What does Hartmann take home for 4th?
