5:24 first mile in men's race. Yes, that's slow for a marathon, but remember the first mile is pretty much all uphill on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
They announced 5:24 but looking at the ESPN clock, it was at 5:22 when the hit mile 1.

And why is Alexi Pappas in the lead vehicle? What has she done of note?
She ran 32:02 for 10,000 this year. Likely will run a marathon some day. Is America. Pretty standard really.
Yeah. He just went back again
Some seriously overdressed people!
Splits on the women's race? That pack looks really big, not sure how long keitany is going to wait to got to front
Kipsang looks like he's just out doing his easy Sunday long run. In the bag.
Just something to think about: Meb has run as many marathons in his life as Yuki Kawauchi has run in the last couple years or so. Kawauchi has the faster pr.
The name bibs are absolutely HUGE! That would really annoy me.

Ummm, it's to help the announcers see the names.

What a knock kneed runner Jeptoo is!
Anyone know what's going on with the "NRC" on most of the Nike singlets? Anyone seen that before?
Men's race just MOVED for like 10 sec and then settled back or was I seeing things?

Nice to be a white American runner I guess.
