This has to be taking place near Cottage Grove, the same location where Galen and Jordan ran the half marathon recently. It’s a flat out and back on a bike path.
Locals should be providing wifi passwords so we can get updates from the course. Come on people!

An hour in and zero updates...AWESOME!
According to Letsrun trolls this is a ‘look at me’ race, so they would rather there not be updates. Keep it on the down low and don’t talk about it [smirk].
It's a poorly planned 'look at me' race. Double win for the dez haterz.
Thanks for the updates.

Wait. Wasn’t her last race a half in the same time?
Her pacing (with pacer, I believe) has been spot on. This is great to "watch."

From what I can tell from her WorldAthletics' profile, her last half marathon result was 1:22 (2019)

Pretty good marathon in itself.
Case for missed steaming opportunity is even bigger now with it going so well. Such a shame!
2:59:54 unofficial
Out of respect, we need to refer to her by her preferred name. It is now De. This follows the natural progression from Desiree to Desi to Des. Next year she will transition from De to simply D. After that she will be referred to only by a guttural sound that cannot be transcribed. Thank you for your attention and sensitivity.
LRC goes home devastated. Doesn't really matter, as no one here can beat her!

That's 5:47 pace. I remember in HS it felt like a big deal when I first ran sub 18 for 5k (sub 5:48 pace), but Des just did it 10 times in a row.
