Obviously Ward is injured/stomach problems, etc.

Also, Meb, Biwott, and abdi are not really American...

Lol, sure they aren’t, Excuse Boy.

Hey, you can convince yourself anything you want. I don't care. Neither do millions of others.

Shalane seems to understand geometry better than Mary and Daska based on that last turn

Mary is so dangerous. Never know when she's going to dip into a massive reserve. Hope she doesn't have it today.

Was thinking the same thing. Toying with Shalane on the break. Seeing what she's got.

Great no women's race where it's down to 3 but Tiki Barber going for sub 4. Fucktards.

Great three-way formation of Eth/US/Ken up front for the women!

show the runners.....Tiki had his chance in the NFL

I suspect that Shalane's going to go out the back door soon (what a bold prediction)

Shalane looks good but a bit nervous to me.

Crazy arm movement with Daska's form.

Flanagan face more relaxed than Keitany

I don't know, she is looking like she is feeling good, ready to cover any move.

Don’t care about being incorrect? That’s no way to go through life. Your parents should have taught you better.

Well, it's not like the wheels haven't come off before.

But I think she's good today.
