LET'S F*CKING GO, EVERYONE!

Let me guess ABC7's coverage is going to be

75%feel good dump stories the same ones they do every year.

They will hype the kipchoge v bekele battle and neither will be anywhere close to winning.

The winning break will happen and they will totally miss it(either showing something else or talking about something that is really not very important at all)

So the women start first: in two hours, 27 min from now?

The NYRR one I believe is devoted to the elite feed, which I think is a cool offering. Not sure if it will have commentary.

Woke up extra early today to catch the wheelchair race! I’m praying that ESPN doesn’t attempt to cover any of the running on stream today so I get full wheelchair coverage.

The wheelchair athletes are great athletes but the races are never exciting. From the gun pretty much 1 breaks away and it becomes a time trial

Why do the start the elite women and then elite men last? Why not start them first? The only people who will pass them are the elite pushrim competitors, but I suppose that cause some issues?

do we know who will be doing the call on the race coverage? OK we know we are getting Carrie (eyes rolling) but who else?

Another Kenya sponsored drug festival!

Just be happy that it won't be Kara!

The wheelchairs go first to not get in anyone's way. Then the elite women, who go far enough in advance so the men cannot catch any of them (except some random stragglers who don't mean anything for the race). Then the elite men lead the mass field. Makes sense to me.

So I went through sling for ESPN2 and all their showing is the wheelchair race ????

Well that's because the runners haven't started yet.

There is a live stream on YouTube here. Hopefully it doesn't get taken down,

Thanks.
