Ummm...ever heard of Paula Radcliffe?

What the hell does that have to do with my watching of Kim Smith in the NYC half right now?

Retard.

The point is that Kim Smith looks like a gazelle compared to Paula Radcliffe, Einstein.

No, dipshit, it isn't. It was simple commentary on a simple observation. It was not a statement to be used for comparison sakes nor can it be discredited by such a comparison to another runner. It's simply a factual quip from my personal perspective.

That I have to break this down for you really showcases your lack of intelligence, but I couldn't really expect anything more from the dbags of Letsrun.

Great race for Kara. Coming off the trials I think it's a good sign.

Meb and Ritz looked pretty good, too.

What was Ritz's time and place?

Yea, where are the top 5

I had Ritz on the NYRR tracking and he ran Ritz ran 1:01:52.

But it doesn't tell what place he finished.

Meb ran 1:01:41.

Bobby Curtis 1:03:05

Another small win for Skechers!

Ritz was 14th.

Peter Kirui plans to run the Kenyan 10,000-meter trials, but he thinks he has an outside chance at being considered for the Kenyan marathon team if he runs 1:03 in his next marathon. (No fewer than four Kenyans ran times under 2:04 last year.)

Is that "1:03" a joke or a typo? I can't tell because of the parenthetical part....either way I find it humorous.

Chris Thompson 61.23

Scott Overall 61.25

yikes stripes, you get shot down by some slutty chicks wearing green last night bro? You seem pissed off.

Kirui and Merga went through 10k in 28:02.

Marilson Gomes Dos Santos been around for a long time. Hard to believe someone can keep up that type of performance for so long. Most amazing story of this whole race.

I'm at work so I can't type more, making $150k per year.

Don't forget Mellor 62:59 debut.

Sam Chelanga is 27 yrs. old already?
