The heat this year did not add 4-5min. It probably added 2.5 minutes and the wind took back under 2min. So it's basically an average year.

2.5min comes from jack Daniels for 71 degrees for a 2:30 marathon.

I hate to argue with JTupper, but 71 degrees is quite steamy for a marathon. 2.5 minutes seems a very conservative, best case scenario. In most hot marathons, you get one or two runners who seem to manage well, and carnage behind them.

Also, the effect of heat is amplified by a slight tailwind.

Her post race interview had me in tears. I'm very proud of her.

Me too. We had it on at work, so I tried my best to hold it in.

I haven't had a great week and I don't want to cry, so I have a question: Will I feel happy for her or sad for her if I watch it?

She deserves major props. It was 85 degrees. Most of us mortals were dying

Right! I mean she's doing something productive with her life while these fools talk down about it. I wanna see them run that time!

How did you know today's race wasn't super-aided just like the 2011?

It was.big tail wind today.

Oh, that explains why a total of two males eked under 2:09. With the second male just barely eking under the 2:10.00 barrier.

She finished two hours before you did.

She has been competing half her life and has her best race yet!

I've never seen such a strong mix of joy and sorrow as in Jordan's interview.

If you are not significantly dehydrated, why would the temperature affect your performance??

Similar career trajectory to Ryan Hall. Almost a wash out in the track the re birth in the marathon. Sometimes it takes a while to find your distance.

Sorry to correct you, but no one dipped under 2:09. Only two guys ran faster than 2:10.

How is Boston a major marathon? How many of the world's best marathoners were in that race? Boston is a hobby jogger's race with some overpaid Americans thrown in so the hobby jogger set don't complain too much about all the Africans winning everything.

Edna Kiplagat is a 2 time world champion, has won London, LA, New York and now Boston. She's one of the all time greats. Pretty sure Boston is a major marathon.

Yeah. 6 American men in the top 10 and no one under 2:09. Major marathon? Not so much. More like a major American marathon.

The top dogs always run London. That's a fact.

That's the second time you suggested that. The answer is -- significant dehydration is unavoidable. The rate at which fluids are taken in through the small intestines is relatively constant. It doesn't matter how much extra you drink, only so much of it is taken up. In cool conditions slower marathoners can replace the losses, but faster marathoners cannot. Then as the temps go up, the loss rate goes up, but the replacement rate stays the same. If it's hot enough, even walkers would get dehydrated.

Third in her debut, crushing Linden by over a minute!

I've been a fan of Jordan since her high school days in Nor Cal. Glad to see her do well. Funny how we don't hear her complaining about Alberto and chucking him under the bus. Hmmmmmmmmmm. We can finally stick a fork in Kara and declare her "Over Cooked and Well Done".

Congrats Jordan and looking forward to some great marathon performances.

So Cal, bro.

The interviewer's pronunciation of Jordan's last name got me thinking. If Jordan married Willie Mays her last name would be Hay Say Say Hey!

Wonderful comments post race by Jordan.

That announcer,Burton, is a career Patriots jock sniffer. His own station was pronouncing Hasay all day but he couldn't bother to listen, the douche.
