Video Highlights 2015 Boston Marathon
April 20, 2015
Deba in the lead pushing the pace.
5K split: 16:57 (2:23:03 pace)
Desi has dropped the long sleeve. Jon's hopes and dreams of someone winning in a long sleeve have been crushed. Shalane tucked in ... Desi looks like she's falling off the back a little bit.

Trust me. THere is wind.
When I got up this morning in Newton, I looked out the window and didnt see the trees moving so I thought, "Where's the wind?"
When I walked outside, I felt it.
You don't run in a line like that unless it's windy. Weather.com is reporting 10mph in Hopkinton with gusts of 17mph. I'd say that's about what I felt downtown. 10mph isn't crazy wind but it impacts you
16:12 mark. Desi tosses her shirt.
I know it's early but Deba pushing the pace early isn't a good thing for Shalane. One of the hopes coming in was DEba, given her DNF at the NYC Half was not in form. Her husband/coach told uss that wasn't the case and she's at least proved that here.
Jerry S - Shalane's coach - told me when he was at the NYC half watching Bumby that Deba was more than a minute back before she dropped out.
Clearly, she's noot having back issues.
They are moving now. Will be interesting to see if all 3 Americans hang in there.
This "thread" is awesome!
Desi up in front now.
Also note that Amy Cragg in the pack as well. Deba tucked in.
Lost the shirt & took the lead!!!

Anyone else getting the chills watching Des run on the yellow paint? That drives me nuts. I always feel like I'm going to bust my ass on a wet day.
Earlier the chairs were on the paint, I thought that'd add slippage to their pushing.

Linden to the front now. Is she trying to slow it down?
Shalane is right where she needs to be.
Nate Jenkins is in the house!

Hmmm...does Al and his partner say anything about the runners/race? Better commentary here on this thread.
Thanks...JT
At this point, all I am learning from the race commentary and the LRC co-founder is that weather, more specifically wind, is interpretable as to whether or not it exists.
Wind might not be too bad. Announcers keep saying it isn't and the women are spread out across the road. Not what you'd expect if the headwind is strong ... you'd expect them bunched up like at the start.
Where is Kara Goucher - has she already been dropped? Please say it ain't so.
Just shut it.

LOLOL why does Larry feel the need to keep explaining that 1600m is nearly one mile?
