Caballero still has over an hour to run. There's a lot of time left in this race.

I want to know more about Caballero. How many marathons has she run? Where does she train? Don't they have a media guide in the booth? How many Colombians have won Boston? Yikes.
2:26 at Boston. Also ran the Olympic marathon. So not a total newbie.

How close is Caballero to lapping the other girls?
It is not on a track
i think she's gonna pay for it.
Has Merga grown a brain at last?
This is just Cab's third marathon? That would make her even less experienced than Shalane. Interesting. Thanks

Who is this woman? She has a comical stride.
I have the volume muted at work and can still here her feet slapping the ground. My shins are starting to hurt just watching.

she is definitely going to get caught, lots of time left.
Won't be able to watch the entire marathon, but hopefully will be able to enjoy the latter parts of it!
From the Science of Sport blog: "Commentary is missing a good race."
Go Go Go
Allyson Felix has done a great job of stepping up from the 200m.

I hope so, I mean he's in a damn wheelchair what does he have to lose??! I always consider those races as a "pity race" at best anyway.
Do you look at the "race for top American male" the same way?
Article about Yolanda Cavallero on competitor.com, who lost her husband to a stroke last year and is still coping with it coming into the Boston marathon:
Caballero fading?
Who are the top Americans right now? At this point in race?

Those are just two I know of. She used to be a "hobbyjogger" so she might have run some there. Here's an old LetsRun story on her:
