Dude, I agree it was a bad tweet. Weldon deleted it. But hell my professional credibility was 25 seconds from being smashed. I 'd have to shut down the job and get a job. Who is going to hire a 43-year old pseudo journalist who can't spell even if went to Princeton? I'd be lucky to work at McDs and aren't robots taking over there?

Beyond limits holy ****

That was awesome!

Best marathon I have ever watched I barely blinked!

Be real - the most genius move by Nike, by far, was signing Kipchoge.

Kipchoge looks about 45

Um, because he just ran 2:00:25.

Holy shyteballs, can we all just admit that most of us did not believe this would happen? I really thought this was an epic Nike fail, but they are effing geniuses, I suppose.

I'm in shock.

Never thought that would happen. Damn... Freakin amazing!

So how much does the slipstream save them????

Serious question.

Lol poor Desisa. He looks MISERABLE.

Excellent point.

No DNFs, I'm impressed.

too much got damn carb drinking for desisa! That's a fact. They talked about how he should take in more carbs as a runner, because that is why he would fall off later on races.

All runners don't have the same system, and some runners do not need to fuel as much as other runners.

I think Mary Keitany could have run his time in this setup. Not a diss. Just props to Mary.

That was fun and exciting. Ill be vefy interested in Kipchoge's next marathon. Wonder how all this training translates.

Think he would have ran 2:02:05 in Berlin if it were held today.

To me it wasn't even in my top 50 races. Plus, everything done to help Kipchoge and he still could not do it...GREAT effort though.

Really it wasn't just this one tweet, you've been a dirtbag about this all along. Well Shalane was there and in complete admiration of what he did and loved the event. All the pacers were completely supportive of it all. Maybe your opinion of the "way things should be" is archaic and irrelevant. This event was great and your attitude turned me off from your site. Bye

She is pretty damn good.

Wonder what's up with Desisa though. Probably injuries we don't know about.

We got everything here, 2.5' better than WR and "bonking", the beauty of running, phew...

Jesus, you guys need to realize that Kipchoge is probably doped up to the gills like Lance Armstrong is. There is no need to grandiose him with stuff you will regret in a few years. Heck, I could run sub-2 with the right drugs.

I think I heard Desisa say "No mas, no mas"

After all the hype it boils down to 3 people running their hearts out. I started watching this with skepticism and ended with awe.
