    re: Flyer runner

    I just gotta throw out another congrats to Tera! What an incredible race. I thought she was dying when she was running 10 seconds or so behind the main chase pack midway through. Then all of a sudden she is in 4th! And to have been one of the last qualifiers! Gotta give some props to her coach too, Art Siemers is definitely one of the very best in the country!!!

    Also happy to see Zoila up there. If you didn't know this is a girl who worked as a janitor while at Adams State so she could support her younger siblings. She has an incredible story and anyone who has heard it or has met her can't help but root for her and be happy with her performance today.

    Yes, CLASS ACT for sure. On and off the course! She is as gracious as she is hard-working and talented...and deserving! She has a wonderful family and loving and supporting friends. Go Deena!!!

    Might any of the DNF's come back and run tomorrow? Any reports yet on Dryer and O'Neil or Lundy?

    re: cut the field

    So glad Blake Russell made the team and Mag Levy-Boulet deserved it after her effort...but Deena was more than amazing. Deena Kastor was down 1 minute and 56 seconds at halfway and ran 1:13:04 second half to win!

    Good for Deena & Blake!

    And Mag gets...Dick (Boulet) and an Olympic spot!

    (sigh) I miss the days of Dick & Grote on the message boards...

    re: Vipam

    not really. her marathon PR is far superior to everyone else in the field and 1:13 isn't her PR pace.

    re: hammer time

    The next question is whether or not Mag signs with an agent and gets an adidas shoe deal.

    Is Dan Lilot (ex T&FN) who now works for Peter Stubbs tied in with Magdalena, or does she have an agent?

    re: just routine

    Actually it is impressive she didn't hit the gas immediately after passing halfway so the 1:13 is deceptive. She picked it up alot after the 1/2 mark and regardless such a big negative spilt isn't a cake walk even for Deena. Sure she could have run faster but her run was still impressive.

    Oh piss on you.

    Magdalena Lewy-Boulet is capable of a top ten finish with the frontrunning she did today.

    re: justwondering

    It seems like it would be very emotionally draining to DNF in the Trials that it would be tough to come back. Then, consider running what really is a hard day (DNF or not) and then running a marathon.

    re: The scoop

    Commentary on the race website said that O'Neill dropped around mile 23. It didn't say when Dryer went out. Does anyone know?

    They're probably saving their legs for the 10k at the Trials (?). Hope they didn't drop due to injury.

    Paul Radcliffe could crap a 2:29:36 marathon in her sleep. There will be no US medals.
