What ever happens she gets the "I HAVE BIG BALLS AWARD"
Yeah, Deena is gaining, but Boulet could just be resting. Just sayin.
Deena 22 seconds back, Blake 23 seconds up on 4th.
Mile 22: Russell: 5:58, Desiree: 6:06
deena might catch her in the next mile
22 sec gap
L-B was 5th in 2004... i had no idea. not so dark of a horse now.
Awesome race by everyone so far. Deena looks amazing. What a champion and class act.
I'm I the only one who didn't get Al's analogy between baseball and the last 385 yds of a marathon?
also, her son's middle name is "Wilberforce". excellent.
From BroJo preview:
The two others most likely to contend are the two runners who just missed out on going to Athens in 2004, Blake Russell (4th in 2004) and Magdalena Lewy Boulet (5th). Both Russell and Boulet ran the Stanford 10k two weeks ago. Russell came out ahead (32:14 to 32:33) but the time was actually a pr for Boulet. Both runners have their question marks. Russell has suffered a series of injuries, but her 10k time indicates she is fit once again. Boulet is coming back from the birth of her son in 2005 and has only run 2:42 since 2004.
Not only that, she also wins koolest sounding name competition. Yay Magdalena Lewy Boulet!
yeah, i didn't read that.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, his analogy was between home-to-first and the full 26.2 miles of the marathon...
Kastor 5:34 for mile 23, gains another 24.
Boulet is hanging on well, for clearly hitting the wall, thought she'd fade more. Looks like she has 2nd if she continues to hold on.
2:15 in the race, Deena leads! Boulet drafts off of her.
