I'm curious what people thought of the marathon course. So many twists, turns and narrow spots. It looks really challenging and might require a conservative approach. Notice the leaders that fell off and other runners that came from behind. It might be that early jockeying for position can take a toll. Different courses favor different runners.
Absolutely no reason why it has to be a flat straight fast course. I do think psychologically some runners would be affected more by the twists and turns than others. So be it.
Whoever's best at the time and place.....
