No wind, no sun, 65 degrees, 85% humidity, not bad.

I see Colley on the start line still sporting that mane.

13:40 is usually more than fast enough to take the men's race and since Huddle is gone, a 15:35 should grab first place $ for the women.

Nur, Colley & Bor out front a mile in.

Bor, Nur, and Errasa way out front. Rowbury doing ok with play by play. Kelati looking to dominate like last year.

....except it looks like Kelati, despite not racing much (at all?) is serious about this one a mile in.

No splits, ugh. But Bor & Nur are flying.

Nur 13:24! Got to be one of the fastest winning times for this race ever. Meanwhile Kelati is more out front this year than last!

He got misdirected about 30 meters from the finish, cost him about 5 seconds. Luckily had a good break by then.

Looks like Drew was a DNF. Hoping tomorrow's coverage is better.

It was where the motorcycle pulls off literally a few steps before the finish line. It did not cost him much. The huge finishing arch was right there. It is kind of inconceivable how he screwed that up.

Actually the lead bike directed him correctly, but Nur 'ignured' him.

Drew Hunter actually did finish with a time of 22:51. Interested to see what happened there

Here's the main problem with the coverage:
I had a bunch of people watching because of one runner. I told them he may not even get in the camera.
OK, so he's in the pack of pro's, I don't expect them to single him out BUT- there is absolutely no reason why they can't get the leader out of the way (holding up his flag) and have the camera clearly show others as they cross the line- the announcers could even say as many names as possible.
As far as splits, did you notice:
Rowbury was about to give the men's 2 mile split when Swangard interrupted and started talking about women's winning times.
I don't mind him, but he's got to learn to shut up and let the expert call the race.

I noticed that, too, and it was pretty annoying. It's a common issue, and not just for Swangard.

People were all over the course and in the way. New Yorkers are idiots.
