Official 2015 Boston Marathon Live Discussion Thead

This is the problem with the races starting this close together. The women's sprint finish happening the same time a key break in the men's race is happening.

Desisa has broken them all and looks great pulling away.

Wow wow!

THROW AN ELBOW!

4th is very solid for Desi.

QOD from Trautwig: "I don't know about you Larry but I'll take the long legs"

Dibaba goes!!!

Rotich trying to hang.

What a finish this is going to be

Caroline Rotich by 1-2 seconds.

what a race.

Holy cr@p, what a sprint finish...awesome. Go Desi!

Desisa has a huge lead now, then Tsegay, a gap to Chebet, Korir so far back you can barely see him.

That was a smart, strong race from Rotich.

And good result for Des. She's our best marathoner.

These announcers suck and are just plain stupid.

rotich for the win in 2;24;56 I think

Dark horse

Final mile??

Last mile was only about 5:22? Shocking to me that it wasn't faster than that.

I had 5:20 on my watch but thought I hit it a few seconds late.

Memo to rojo. Just shut up and watch the race.

Wrong.

Rojo is better than these clowns on TV.

Linden should've pulled a Gemkow

CAROLINE ROTICH!!!

Desisa still leading, but Tsegay has definitely made up a ton of ground. and now is catching up.

Great finish!!!!

They just said her coach is Ryan Bolton in Santa Fe? Anyone know anything about him?
