LIVE NOW W Marathon

Welp, all my top 3 picks are toast and we aren't even halfway. Knew I should have gone for Gebresalse instead of Bekere!

Wonder if the dramatic slow down was because she started feeling bad. She looks crushed, feel bad for her. GI issues in a race are the worst

Matsuda might catch the chase group. She's not far behind.

So much carnage to come, one of them could grab a medal.

Can someone explain how the WA website is so horrible. For me after pushing reload, Ctrl_R, F5, and anything else, I could think of, it still gives no indication of the marathon being in progress!!

Nor was it updating heat and races yesterday in any kind of timely fashiohn.

GD HS meets have live instant results, WTF is going on?????????????????

Tanui back in the lead group and the pace seems to have slowed down again. Also, Bates seems to be having trouble hanging with the chase pack.

Why do the one Ethiopian and one Kenyan I pick in the prediction contest have to blow on this day. I hate the marathon. We need to get rid of it.

Tanui has has caught up. Steve Cram says confirmation from Kenyan camp that it was stomach issues.

Working for me. Sure you're on the LIVE results page?

D'Amato will finish 5th

I love how you post about your prediction picks in every race thread. Can you also provide some updates on your Fantasy Football team? We're all riveted.

This is exactly one of the reasons the marathon is great theater - unpredictability.

Ever hear that old adage: “that’s why they lace ‘em up!”

Typical American runner strategy, totally whipped by east africans to the point where they don't even try to beat them. running for top 10 instead of running to medal. Same as Fisher yesterday. Molly S showed last year what you need to do to have a chance at hardware - and it doesn't involve sitting back 400m from the lead group and "running your pace"

Chenegetich dropped out right in front of me at an aid station

She seemed to be holding her side when she stopped at the Kenyan aid station. Not sure what happened.

I thought for sure Tanui was going to blow up shortly after catching up, but now she's leading the thing again.

I don't play fantasy sports because I get too obsessed and it affects my mood too much. As you can see here.
