Official 2017 Chicago Marathon Live Discussion Thread

Hasay is either running an American Record or 2:45

Braun surely has the easiest time at the drink tables

Honestly cannot understand the Aaron Braun strategy here. I love to cheer for him but this tactic just makes no sense.

Telemundo feed is excellent for watching the race uninterrupted

Top group at 10k. Only on 10k pace. If they're gonna go fast, better pick it up soon.

NBC Chicago is frustrating. I can't even increase the size of the video -- flashplayer sucks

I'd like to ser Becky Wade do well. Top ten finish and a PR.

Also, like Sam Chelanga to do well. Might even beat Rupp.

MAGA

Announcer asked if they are drinking water

Does anyone else have NBC Gold and the Chicago stream running? Only way to get commentary and running the whole time. Sad really

If you aren't signed up for one of the streaming services, most offer a 7-day free trial. I'm watching NBCSN on Playstation Vue. Just remember to cancel if you don't want a subscription.

The women are on....2:16 flat pace? Through 6 or 7K. Whats going to happen to Jordan if she keeps trying to hang with this? I'm fearing a 1:09-1:17 type split

What would her marathon time be with those splits?

Who knows? Maybe she runs 2:20-mid or maybe she threatens then AR...

In a WMM it does her no good to run her own race when there are studs up front. She's probably going to finish 3 through 5, why not go for a fast time?

I thought Hasay had dropped, 32:28 at 10K!! 2:16 pace!! She's still there.

If anyone has Apple TV, watching easily on the NBCSN app.

56 degrees and sunny at the start. 89% humidity.

Hasay's first 10K is only a minute slower than the men's. This is not going to end well.

The announcers just referred to Luke Humphrey (in front the women's leaders) as "this guy".

Just flashed up fastest times "this year" which appeared to be from 2016.

LOL NBC sports... Fastest marathons of the year and posted previous year's Berlin....

Lead women hit 10k on 2:17:00 pace. Jordan Hasay is with them. We could see some blowups today...
