Mantz and CJ off the pack. Racing for 1st American, at this point. Probably smart.

Exactly. They probably have some "focus group" data showing they can get non-runners to watch running events by focusing on everything but running. Might be true, too.
Its absolutely true, at least in a local sense. Everyone in massachusetts whos not working is tuned in, and most of them couldnt name a single runner

FFS, and now our only pictures are of a master's wheelchair athlete rolling in to finish. This is shambolic

Kipchoge took his headband off

Oh NO. Mantz looks to be going backwards.

Why should anyone but Kipchoge lead? Make him lead every second. Let him whine.
1:02:19 at the half is good. Kipchoge just waiting to start ramping it up. The problem is he is dictating the pace and even now it's slowly burning people off. Will be interesting to see when he take over.

I told everyone to get ready for a SUPER fast 16th mile and we got it. 4:23!! It's broken up the field. Now down to 7 in the lead pack. Now remember that mile is like 107 feet downhill so it aids you about 20 seconds.

So we get commercials and undesired wheelchair coverage then suddenly mantz and talbi are 10-15s back? Would've been nice to see what happened

I think Mantz will fall off at around 35k. Went out too fast for his fitness

Where's Shura Kitata?

this is f***** absurd. How many times will we see the women’s wheelchair champ finish alone

Only 22 seconds behind Stinson's 25k AR

It is crazy that he felt like he needed to go out with that pack. He's probably at 2:06 guy on a fast course, but that doesn't get you much in 2023, forcing dudes like him to go with fast dudes.
Albertson must have no self control--or need the camera time for sponsors.

Mantz actually looks good at the moment, off the pack but passing Zouhair Talbi to move into 8th.

Mantz running form looks like me trying to run sub 7 pace! And I am over 50 years old. Not pretty at all.
