Official 2017 BMW Berlin Marathon Thread

So Flotrack said, "Join pro to watch Berlin livestream." I join and see the countdown to stream start. Then when it starts it says, "not available in my country." SO WHY THE HELL DID THEY SAY I COULD WATCH BEFORE I PAID. SCREW YOU FLO!

Bekele straight to the back of the group. Definitely doesn't want to go out in 60:45. He might let them go early.

Payday for winning the Berlin 'thon?

Bonus paid for WR?

lol a sucker born every minute

My prediction:

Kipchoge takes it in 2:02:22 with Kipsang a few seconds back in 2:02:45.

He's worried that HE might get cold

What's up with the really short dresses on two of the pacers?

He's ina studio in the US so he should be fine.

Same here. Are these guys not a legitimate website?

It's definitely a little rainy there. Not sure on the temps but with the fog it almost seems like solid conditions. Interesting with all the male pacers for the women's group.

Shut up rjm, no ones fooled by your act.

Sorry, don't know who that is. I'll use my normal handle if I've offended someone. I was being lazy.

Out at 1:59:33 pace through 1km.

Kipchoge wants 100:45 hm which Bekele said is too fast. He wants 61:15.

No kneeling for any anthems at the start of the Berlin 'thon. Immediate DQ. Great rule.

Flotrack doesn't have rights in the US. This should've been stated, if not that's super shady.

Which shoes are Kipchoge wearing?

2:54/km average for the first 3

OH NO. This is going to be awful. I just got up at 3 am and turned on the tv and I have Josh Cox commentating. Say it ain't so. I was hoping I'd get an international feed.

Anyone have a feed with decent announcers. These guys will be running 2:01 pace and Cox annoying voice will be killing it for me.

He was made to be a tv man (good looks) not a commentator on a marathon which is more like radio.

HAha. I feel you. I got a free week trial of FUBOL TV so I could watch on NBCSN. I like Josh but yeah he gets annoying. I sure wish I had some awesome Brits doing the race. Rob Walker and whomever else. Oh well at least I'm watching it. Lead Pack is already so small.

Lead group is down to 5. Kipsang, Kipchoge, Bekele, and two people who will not win this race.

I think the Japanese dude is running alone behind the lead pack
