Did anyone see somebody commenting on the instagram post announcing the women's field about farts? Wtf is that person going on about?
Look, I thought we'd already been over this here. There is way too much farting going on at races, it's completely unacceptable.

Now? The defining characteristic of these message boards since they were created almost 20 years ago is what @$$holes people are.

This is true and it's a good thing the Jobros don't care about having friends.

Coach Dylan previews the field at what is likely to be the fastest marathon on American soil this year, since the Olympic Trials in February. Learn more about the event taking place in Chandler, AZ on December, 20th, 2020 by visiting their website:

Two things:
1. I'm glad that someone is organizing this event but would be nice to see a half marathon instead. I'd rather tune in for that than a slog fest of a sub elite marathon.
2. Could somebody design a loop course that doesn't have 180 degree u-turns? There is nothing fast about those. At least make the turns like they did in the sub-2 event.

I predict Martin Hehir will win the men's race.
I'm curious if Asics will let Emma Bates wear their supershoe too, or just Sara.
Buzz off nerd, your input is irrelevant here. Start your own thread for everyone to ignore, don't hijack this one.
