Official 2016 TCS New York City Marathon Live Discussion Thread

Ritz wearing a woolly hat. Expectations devastated.

BREAKING NEWS! ESPN/ABC showing coverage of the women's race!!

Sara Hall looks awful. Might just be her natural form though

Ritz is getting after it.

Wow! ESPN2 and eurosport both just found the marathons! Actual marathon video ongoing on both!

Of course, eurosport wants to go to commercial now, after showing several minutes of actual running.

I thought the same when they last showed the women's lead pack. She looks like she was forcing it to keep it up. Shes gonna blow up.

seeing dathan up there makes me so happy.

What the heck Ritz! Tuck in man.

Dathan Ritzenhein is currently about 20 meters ahead of the pack. Matt Llano within 3 meters of him.

MF Ritz! What does he have in mind? Seems crazy to hammer from the jump, but he's obviously feeling good. Didn't Hall do this about five years ago in Boston?

Ritz has gapped the field in the first mile. Matt Llano is the only one within 15 meters of him.

But now they've got back up toh im around 8 minutes in.

He might be on WR pace.

Guess Ritz wants to dictate right from the gun...

Neely Spence Gracye and Gwen Jorgensen have been dropped from the lead pack. Sara Hall and Kim Conley are hanging on to the back of it,

Ritz was denied by race officials to wear his favorite "Make America Great Again" racing hat. He however courageously decided to run without it. Expect great things...

Showing that sobriety commercial so often makes me want to have a drink right now.

Eurosport needs to get a couple of new photo lenses. Everything is blurry.

Ritz probably just trying to thin the pack early.
