Women's race begins 20minutes on Runnerspace. Men's race in 1 hour plus. The pre-race thread is too long. I thought it was best to start a thread dedicated strictly to the women's race here.

ill take the bait... can anyone stay within 30 seconds of Shalane?
-
I've changed it to make this one thread for the women and men as people won't want to change over as the races will start and finish clost to each other.

I'll bite again... Is this Ritz versus Teg or can Derrick or Mack surprise?
-
Why can't Ben True win this? He has beaten almost all the field.
-
Is this all we get with the "live streaming?" A camera looking from a mile away? Why did I plan my day around watching this? There's a gator rolling along at the front of the race; put a damn cameraman in it!!
-
Yeah, honestly...they couldn't get any better camera positions than this?
-
Yeah, unbelievable. Just put a camera in the damn gator. There's no point in watching this; might as well just check the results later because it's impossible to tell what's going on right now.

Wow Shalane is tearing it up, no surprise there.. But Kim Conley!? I realize it is early in the race, but wow she is really proving herself
-
Around 3k Flanagan leads, Conley on her shoulder, gap back to Kastor in 3rd and then another gap back to the base pack of 6.
-
I can't stand hearing the one guy clear his throat of phlegm every 5 seconds.
-
Flanagan 12:52 at 3k. Conley 12:53, Kastor 13:08, chase pack another 10 or 15s back and includes decrescenzo, infeld, and spence.
-
4k
Flanagan and Conley up front.
Kator 16 seconds back in third.
THen a big gap to the chase pack of 5 of which 3 will make the team.
Not sure who all is in there. Suver, Spence, for sure. -
Heard that Emily Infeld is in that pack as well.
-
Delilah in there as well.
-
Shalane just dropped Kim, She's on her own now
-
From what I can tell:
Flanagan is beginning to break Conley. Conley strong in second. Kastor all alone in third. Spence, xxxx, and Infeld 4-6, clear ahead of 7-8 women.
Top six make the world squad. -
19:25 for Shalane. 2s gap on Conley. Kastor 19:55. Spence, decrescenzo, and spence breaking away from the rest.

Derrick taking the whole thing should hardly be called a surprise. I'd give him a better shot than Teg. -
look's like the team is set, Magda and Brie F. Way back
