it would be nice if there was some kind of coverage of the actual race instead of just a video of flanagans running form
Because of the narrowness of the course they are only able to have video of the first runner/lead pack. Blame the rest of the ladies for not making a race of it.

If they know thats the case they should prepare for it...have people on the course giving the announcers in the cart updates about the actual race so there's a point to actually watching the feed.
Seriously, people will always find a reason to complain. Make the trip to see the race live if you are not satisfied with the coverage. One thing is for sure, I may move out of NY after seeing out nice it is in Cali right now.

Seriously. I'm watching thinking, "Hey, it's late May there!"
WOW Flanagan is in shape... dropping Huddle, Koll, etc. like that?? This is crazy..
I like how they were too stupid to figure out how to get video of the finish.
They waited too long to get to the finish every time, and took their time trying to get passed the fence and shit.
I kept thinking, "Seriously? Not that hard."

this coverage blows compared to flotrack
Actually this is much better, as Flotrack isn't here....
Hope the men's race is more of an actual race. It seems like the goal of top 6 discouraged anyone from going out with Shalane.

I think she is just that much better. Huddle tried going out with her over the first k, Shalane but 10 secs on her by 2k and stretched it out from there.
I don't think anybody could have gone out with Shalane.
The coverage of the finish line is, to say the least, rather odd. Something similar happened in the coverage of last week's U.S. half-marathon championships.
Aside from the finish-line snafus, I've enjoyed the coverage. It looks like a fun day out there.

He lost his virginity.
Ben True to Worlds!!!!
Am I the only one annoyed when after the first six finish they say "that's your World team" when you know most of those guys won't bother going?
