Also Natasha Wodak nabbed the Canadian Record 69:41!
Anyone know what shoes she was wearing? Not sure AthCan is recognizing records set in vaporflys.
Man this post makes you look stupid, hahaha.

Awesome! She is a great lady, hope to see her in Tokyo
I think she is great too - any idea what shoes she was wearing? Makes a difference in terms of how we rank this performance.

Either way a BYU grad was the top American. It’s because they’re age cheats though, right?

The camera and announcing on this is terrible. Lady just asked if they were running 20 miles an hour....
Is the camera man on a pogo stick?
20 mph. Lol
That’s faster than Kipchoge’s breaking2 and INEOS 159 challenge!
Ya think? That 2:59 mile pace!
Stephen Scullion ran a PB of 2:11:52 for 5th place and a spot at the olympics as it’s a gold label race. Dude was drinking heavy and playing rugby just two years ago, pretty incredible turnaround. Congrats to him and coach Stephen Haas.

Apparently, the unofficial world record in the father-son half marathon combo was set at the Houston half. Matt Leach (Peninsula Distance Club) ran 62:57, and his father Andrew Leach ran 71:10. Impressive runs for the Leach family!

Every Canadian record broken today was set wearing Vaporflys.

I think the dad is 55 which converts to a 1:00:59. Pretty impressive.

Well let’s see if they get ratified by AC. Go check trackie. Rumour has it AC is considering asterisk for any vaporfly records.
I personally think these are amazing runs, and these women are amazing people and athletes, but I don’t consider these to be the true Canadian records if they were set in vaporflys or the like. Just do the math.

Again, every record that was broken was set wearing Vaporflys. The current ratified records were set Using these shoes and the ones today will be as well.
AC is in no way looking at considering an asterisk for any records.

Lol, and I'm sure the source for this "rumor" is a Letsrun troll post.

Brutal right? Take Wodak - supposedly first Cdn woman under 1:10. Assume a conservative 2% advantage from the shoes. Means she really only ran 1:11 as compared to regular shoes.
This is why people that understand the sport are working on nullifying these “assisted” records.
Look at what happened in swimming with the cheater suits - they got banned and no one takes any of the associated records seriously.
I thought Cam Levins was sponsored by HOKA when he got the marathon record. Could be wrong though
Did he race today?
Anyone been able to get the results page (not the tracking/leaderboard stuff) to work? I haven't been able to get it to load all day, since after the race ended and most of the time the entire Houston Marathon website won't load for me ...
Everyone I've tried to track shows up as "hasn't started the race yet" so the tracking site is no use either.
