Half in 1:26:52...no 20K split (did he catch a ride?)
Stopped to bang a hot babe, but he'll be back and still break 3.

sub 2:06 at Boston. Going to be a real war of attrition at the end
Yea, Cheriyot really looks weak.

Doubt it, that is in line with his 5 and 10k splits.

I'm already geeking out over this. What would 2:06 equate to on a flat course?

Love the women's race. This is just a real fight.

Ha, your right RC is looking awesome. Guess that is why I am not on Versus commenting but rather commenting on letsrun.com

I wish they'd get serious and start racing.
From Carmichael Training Systems news letter:
"....I'll give you some examples of effective goals, straight from Lance Armstrong. He emailed his list about a week ago, and though he says he has three goals for 2008, I told him only two of them count so far:
1. Run the Boston Marathon in 2:45:00 on April 21, 2008.
2. Run the New York City Marathon in 2:30:00 on November 2, 2008.
3. Complete an ultra-endurance cycling event.
Goal 1: missed
Two to go.

Must be the fastest mile 20 split ever run at Boston. Insane.
especially off of a 2:06 pace, it's amazing.
It's always hard to tell with the front camera angle but does it look like the lead is shrinking on the men's side?
-R
From Roger Robinson and Katie Wolpert, Running Times:
"Cheruiyot is showing no sign of his heart breaking as he approaches the top of the hill. This is impressive running by Cheruiyot who seems to be able to vary his tactics and make a strike at different points in each race but Bouramdane is still visible and running strongly so the race is not over."
Tune with the move to the front. Finally.
yep sure does. I was hoping we would get a report on the length of the gap and whether it is closing. Could still be a tough war of attrition yet.
according to bostonmarathon.com the lead is 11 seconds
