Can you guys link us to what JK was saying regarding 2:03? I don't want to search through 20+ pages of the thread and I don't know his username to google it.

Was he sand bagging his last half marathon?

It's OFFICIAL, new WORLD record and new AMERICAN record today in Boston! Congrats to the new record holders, it will be a long, long time until anyone approaches these records.

Was that an official world record?

Does anyone know?

YES! YES IT WAS!!!!!!!!! WR!!!!

NO! NO! NO! it wasn't. How many times do guys need to be told that a downhill course with a following wind does not qualify for records of any kind, except Boston marathon course records. So Hall's run was not an American record either.

Hall ran really well, as did Davila, but no records.

That was at 40K

Yes, tomorrow's LR headline:

Hall Cuts Mileage, Smashes AR.

my question about paying out for a world record time was serious. i understand that this is not a world record, but it seems like the payout is offered at boston, and my guess is mass law makes it illegal to advertise the payout if it's impossible to win (impossible because of the point-to-point course issue).

She's been on 2:48 pace

After years and years of kicking myself for not seeing Geb's world record, I'm happy to say that I paid the 5 dollars for this one. I'm so happy. This moment changed my life and I will forever use this as motivation for my own running. Ryan Hall is such an inspiration to me with his american record.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! LIFE CHANGING MOMENT!

While times at Boston do not qualify for the World Record the payout offered for running a world record time is offered by the Boston Athletic Association, specifically for this race, so the payout still counts.
