Thanks guys, by far the best coverage on the net.
Verran in 10th.
"No problem. To close this out, I'll just point out that Rawson said (loosely quoting):
"Keptoo averaged 5:26 per mile for a full marathon. Most people can't hold that for even a fraction of a mile."
Yes, I'm not making this up."
if he's talking about the general public than I'd say he's right.

2:12:45 for Gilmore. PR by over a minute.
Great races by Gilmore and Sell.
Damn!!
Meb 3rd 2:09.55
Sell 4th 2:10.55
Culp 5th 2:11.01
Gilmore 7th 2:13 high
Verran 10th 2:14 high
!!! GO Americans !!!
GREAT TEAM WORK COVERING THE RACE! BRIAN SELL DESERVES PROPS, AND NOBODY SHOULD BE BASHING MEB.
But isn't 62 reasonable for the Boston course?
I didn't see the race, but it seems like Meb ran a much better NYC- finishing just 26 seconds behind Tergat and Ramaala after being right there at the end, (only getting dropped with half a mile to go.)
Seems also like he should have had a much better time today- definitely a PR.
Maybe he was simply in better shape for NY.
Actually
Gilmore - 2:12:45
Verran - 2:14:11

Why are you bashing Meb? Could you go out there and hang as long as he did? No...
So when you can, then you can say stuff.
dumbest argument in sports.
He shouldn't have let them go the last hilf-mile. What was he thinking?

What a day for the Americans. Five guys in the top 10. When was the laat time any international marathon had 5 Americans in the Top 5???? Its been a long time.
Humphrey??
It's a Larry Rawson trademark. As has been discussed extensively here on letsrun, he uses this analogy every time he broadcasts a race. Obviously, you failed to recognize the context and rushed to judgement.
So who is the stupid one?
VERRAN IS DECENT!!!
Way to go Hansons
i can't believe meb was able to hold on after that blistering opening half. i can't believe maiyo was able to either. both of them - amazing.
meb thought it was a hm, should have run a 63:45 fist half and he would have been ok
They just answered that with "21 years."
Hanson's put 7 in the Top 22:
Sell - 4th
Verran - 10th
Humphrey - 11th
Chad Johnson - 15th
O'Brien - 18th
Briney - 19th
Rosendahl - 22nd
Anybody know how Casey Moulton did?
