I would rather have the Brojos commentate this.

Thank you. we debated doing a radio broadcast of the race.

They need to mention the elevation profile. Where on the course are we? Robert and Jon can you put that in your updates?

Back in the day they used to say, "They're going up Heartbreak Hill" etc.

Wait until the race is over before making that declaration.

Ritz looks so strong. Has he finally figured out the marathon?

It was a question, not a declaration. I harbor similar doubts, unfortunately.

Either way...

Women I believe they went by Heartbreak Hill a few minutes ago.

Ritz swallowed up by the pack with Desisa out front pushing. Ritz fell off almost immediately.

Shalane is back in the frame. Probably won't have anything left in the tank to push on the last stretch.

OH CRAP! Ritz just got dumped out the back!

10-15 meters back...

Why are the motorcycles pacing Shalane? Seems ridiculous.

Thanks, no coverage of the men for 2+ minutes now...

I believe?????? Come on!!!!!! Who thought we could believe in both races being American won ~2 hours in. Desi's day.

Either they slowed down or Ritz sped up, because he's right back on the back of the pack. Tola out front.

Watch for Deba. Man she looks pretty solid...

DES NEEDS TO GO!! SHE HAS NO KICK.
