As Chicago still has a combined field (men & women), what overall place do you predict for the 1st woman?
I'm not looking for "who" this woman will be as I know that 81.something% of us already are guessing Radcliffe.
Last year Ndereba was 26th w/ her 2:18:47, and she and Radcliffe may just run faster on Sunday. However, it would seem that on paper the men's elite field depth may also be better than 2001.
My guess?
1st place woman = 19th place overall.
