This pic is from the Minneapolis. Star Tribune, and is one of the best photos I've seen recently in a marathon (and Not just because a ntive-born American is beating a couple of Kenyans)

Nice to see someone so fast with a little "meat" on his bones. At 5' 10" (and if you have ever met him you know that is a stretch) and 145lbs., it was good to see him out running the 115-120 lb. Kenyans.
Jeezus, check out the bloody nipples..... that first shower had to hurt.
I saw Browne close up at New Haven, and let me tell ya, he is not a big guy. Certainly bigger than most Kenyans (but smaller than a guy like Stephen Ondieki). He is not a horse like Paul McMullen.
Look at those huge thunder thighs!!
One piece of marathon knowledge that Alberto failed to pass on: band-aids on the nipples.
Thunder Thighs? Don't look that big to me.
Are you sure those a blood streaks? If so, ouch! Jesus Christo Alberto...
one word:
NIPGUARDS
;-)
The dude's been in front of the firing squad, that's for sure.
By the way, any idea what shoes are on Dan's feet? Those don't look like Nikes to me...
I've been wondering what shoes he wore as well. Nothing I'm familiar with. To be honest, they look like Adidas, but I'm sure he's wearing Nike's and they're probably custom made. Anyway, that's from a Fleet Feeter...
It is not the shoes.....IT IS DAN DA MAN!!!
Dan will run 2;08 in his next marathon!

Apparently, they are new Nike Racing flats due to be released Oct 1. They appear in this month's Eastbay print catalog (though not in the online version yet) but if you call Eastbay, you can't get them yet. Can't remember the name off-hand (some variation on "Air Streak", I think) but they look like a replacement for the Air Ekidens. The even have the same little "Zm" logo on the sole.
Perhaps someone who has this month's Eastbay catalog handy can post the name.
I think they are the Spectrum Streaks. Due soon.
I just looked at my Eastbay catalog and compared the picture of the Nike Air Streak Spectrum Plus to the photo. It looks very likely that he is wearing these shoes from the color distribution. Apparently, a large shipment of these shoes are on its way to the US from Asia but may get delayed on the West Coast due to the longshoreman's strike. Really light shoes at 5.6 oz.
Oh my God I thought those streaks of blood were part of his singlet. Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Yes, those are the shoes. Bob Wischina (shoe editor from RW) said he'd spoke to Browne on the phone and that's what he said they were
was wearing streaks at newhaven.
