I'm well aware of which Jeptoo is which. Just saying, if NYCM is screening runners by guilt-by-association, how about the training partner of a convicted doper?

Best backpedalling of the day right here!

Who the hell is the dude with no name leading the men?

interesting that the producers and camera people are going out of their way not to show the interloper. At halfway through this race however, he's the one making it a race.

Crazy number of bicycles along with the lead group. Why so many?

Providing updates to ESPN for commentary I believe.

GO MEB!!! looks like he's starting to push

Hadley drop out? Been 10 minutes about since Mile 14 and no Mile 15 mark

Who the heck is Craig Leon?

And keitanys throwing down the hammer

Men and Leon chatting at the front! Love it!

Men's race is making a move and we've got an interview. How many decades have we had slit screen technology?

To give her an excuse when she DNFs/runs a poor time.

"I unfortunately stepped on a crack in the road at mile 6 and was able to tough it out until mile 18 when the crippling pain in my ankle forced me from the course. I went for a 16 mile run the next day."

Yeah, seems like most if the guys that go out fast hang around for a fast 5k, hanging around this many miles, that's a respectable half. Wonder if he can actually finish top 20?
