Shrader 64:19 at half

Barf. Commercial (capitalist) TV has to play to the lowest common denominator. They know we running addicts are going to watch, not matter what crap they show. So they have to engage the casual TV person. Such a difference to watch coverage from other countries, like Canada and Japan. Much better technology (Japan shows the elevation, the on-going distance covered, the splits, etc - not to mention they stay focused on the race - not all these lame offshoots.

What these twits are doing is personal stories and then show 5 seconds of the race before another commercial break. Capitalism sucks.

Yuta has taken note of the men's race.

How about it. She looked like that in Chicago too, when she was dropping people left and right the last 2 miles.

now they're showing the ferris wheel again instead of the race. I'm getting very angry

From Boston, former steepler

22nd in Chicago, my 17th pick there, here is my bio:

Next across the line should be Brian Shrader, 28yo and ranked 548. His PB over the half is 64.03 for 15th in March in NY. Four weeks later had a DNF at Boston marathon. Here is my profile from then:

Brian Shrader is a 27yo who could be next with his debut last year on that ineligible course at Sacramento, running 6th in 2.13.30. He is ranked 93 as a steeplechaser and 573 at the marathon.

he ran 61:13 at the short course RNR half marathon Arizona couple of weeks ago

A place where grown-ups are allowed to pick on college kids run running cross-country.

Carp coverage. Why did NBC hire a chopper if they aren't going to use it. A till shot of a ferris wheel??? Cameraman in the John?
