Ok I now know why they hired Barrios. He's now my guy!!!
He can say un PC things and get away with it. He just said "Only the Africans can run that fast."
But if I said it as a white man, I'd be cancelled.

Watch ESPN3. It's spanish language, but they have a fraction of the commercials and zero human-interest cutaways. If you happen to speak spanish, the commentary is also actually relevant compared to the english language coverage.

Barrios called the break by Tola, but It quickly turned out not to be a breakaway or is it?

I was just thinking that. There was a 25 minute separation between women and men at the start. Women are running 5:45 pace through 20 miles, which is over 2:30 for the marathon. The men were at sub 2:06 at the halfway point and Tola has only picked up the pace.

Damn. I thought Cam would be on the podium.
Why?
Cause the field is thin and his max mileage really seems to be working for him. I always root for the life hackers too—putting a treadmill in an altitude tent to get heat training AND altitude training. Triple run days, etc.

Maybe the women can use him as a pacer.

Tola 15:07 latest 5k split

The men started 24:55 behind the women, and are only 4:18 behind at 20 miles. We could see Gidey/Obiri racing Tola the last few miles.

ESPN seem committed to showing as little of the race as possible. Constant commercial cuts and now some dumb documentary preview no one cares about
I feel like i have the perfect setup. Women's feed on the NYC app and ESPN on my laptop. Women's race is mostly silent (unfortunately; only changes periodically when Des chimes in), and I unmute ESPN when they let the good commentators talk.

The women are setting themselves up, for no good reason I can figure out, to make a mad dash for the finish.

It must be jog pace for Giddy

Why doesn’t 2:11 marathoner, Obiri, make a move? This is a disgrace
