Official Chicago Marathon 2023 Discussion Thread

2:07.47

that could mean $$$$$$$$$ for him

The standard is 2:08:10

a clock and the finish at the same TIME.......

This isn't saying much

These announcers on nbc chicago are terrible.

Once the real races are done, they can cover U.S. finishers over seven minutes back and trying to get into the Olympics, along with the other human interest stories.

Who got second and third ?

Rupp in 2:08:48 according to the tracker

Hassan is killing it ..but the uphill sections are so tough for her

This woman on the nbc broadcast is clueless

Last half in 59:55

2:07:47

Rupp missed the standard by 38 seconds?

It's obviously not lack of shoes because how the heck did we get an almost no drafting sub2

Are we seriously going to have routine sub2 in official races this decade?

And women now are going sub 2:14 without real drafting.

I cannot process that.

They talk over each other so much. Total amateur hour. This coverage has just trumped anything boston has dine the past few years.

2:13:38!!! What a run.

Now that's what you look like when you finish a marathon.

I think women are more aerobic/less power and so don't slow down as much as they go up in distance.

My 10k was about the same as Sara Hall, and she would be about 20 mins faster at a Marathon.

The top woman just redline some much longer versus men at a similar 10k level.
