Lets Make this the Official Boston Thread

not seeing comentary on the BAA site for the mens race like I have for the females.

thanks rojo. I put the 10k time out there 20 minutes before you, but it still beats listening to trautwig, rawson and lewis. I'd be willing to pay $10 to listen to you next year. Maybe if 1000 people pony up the $ we could do it...

Oh well, a guy can dream, can't he?

Did Rawson just say that one of these leasders has run 48 minutes for a 10k???

Yes, and I grant it was nice he admitted they had some credentials. If you have Kenyans breaking away early, you do NOT dismiss them off-handedly.

Jefe the CO that message was for you, thanks.

lol, 48 for 10k isn't that good :P (guessing 10 miles?)

apparently one of them might be a bona-fide runner with a 2 minute lead on the field.

Maybe not ambush marketing but definitely an ambush, I thought they looked veyr comfortable early on, think mens field has just cottoned on...

Hey Rojo,

Did you know that Craig Virgin is

-or was- a spokesman and partner in Spira? Talked to him two years ago at Boston Spira booth.

Women for the 2 miles from 9 to 11 in 6:24 pace. Wonder if or when someone will bust out...

Men 10K in 32:33, same thought here...

At 10K:

1. Josephat Ongeri KEN 0:30:38

2. Jared Nyamboki KEN 0:30:38

3. Hosea Kiprop Rotich KEN 0:32:33

4. Yutaka Watanabe JPN 0:32:33

5. Casey J. Moulton USA 0:32:33

6. Hiroki Tanaka JPN 0:32:33

7. Akinori Shibutani JPN 0:32:33

8. Patrick Moulton USA 0:32:34

9. Sammy Nyangincha KEN 0:32:34

10. Benjamin Maiyo KEN 0:32:34

Same here.

He said 48 minutes for 10K but had just made a reference to the Army 10 Miler, so his brain hadn't quite caught up with his mouth. He needs to slow the turnover on his tongue.

I can't believe we've got Rawson and Carol Lewis together for the Boston Marathon. This is far more painful for viewers than the weather is for the runners. Far, far worse.

Hey now I'm hoping that you stop posting so you can keep mentioning those stupid shoes because you are one of the creators and or work for the company!! Please stop...thanks!

I started out just joking about those guys. It's the first time that I've ever heard of the shoes or the company. Believe me, I have no interest in buying shoes with springs Richard, but if the lead pack of the Boston Marathon goes out in 16:22 then they deserve whatever fate befalls them. No go back to creating more conspiracy theories for the Bush Administration...

How does everyone think the Moultons will do?

Whoa! Look at the posted leaders: club runners (Moulton BAA in 5th) and masters (Sammy 2:26 to win last year) and finally maiyo.

WBZ radio thread says Lehmkule is leading men's pack. Men at 2:14 pace, leaders at 2:08 pace. Infinitely more information than Vs - pull it up on your computer & switch off audio at commercials if you're able.

nyombaki or whatever also has gone 61.xx for the half

Apparently $500k in software can't make up for bad site design. Oh well.
