      • Women 11:00 through two miles. No report on whether it was a full two miles. Low humidity.

        Men start in about ten (minutes).

        World Records CAN NOT happen in Boston since it's a point to point net downhill course. They can change this to 50 million, it won't ever happen.

      • I have paid to watch the race. My paid link is only 1 second ahead of that free link people have found.

        But the quality of the paid link is way, way better.

        Free link is here:

        Also all sports are basically built on the concept that everyone will pay the league ($4 per month unkowingly normally though ESPN). This is no different and I was happy to pay.
