Felix is 23 seconds ahead of Caballero and could be 45 seconds ahead of chase pack.
Her PR is "only" 2:25:40 but that was in NYC in for 4th.
1:08:32 for the half for her and European 10k gold so she is no slouch. She could win this thing.

That's not how it works. At all.
"If I told you a Canadian could win the Boston Marathon, what would you think?"
"Well I wouldn't bet the farm, hehe"
"HAHAHAHA."
F**king Watson...

Correct.
It's the dawn of a new era in Canadian distance running.
The camera is definitely broken. A white guy is in the lead ahead of the top Africans. Something is wrong.
Robin Watson? What?
Let’s get to business. So here I am in Boston! I survived the training camp. It was hard, it was intense and it was a grind. But I made it through and I am as fit as I’ve ever been. I absolutely cannot wait to get after it Monday. People keeping asking about my goals, so I figure I’ll put em’ out there. From the very start my goal was top 10, first and foremost I wanna be top 10. Time? Not to concerned about it. I already have a time for the world champs, and this course is not eligible for Canadian records or carding stuff. I just wanna get out and race, this excites me. Every other marathon I have run has been 100% about time, this one is 100% about competing hard, and If I hit my goal of top 10 then I think the time will sort its self out.
-from watson's last blog entry
Watson looks great! Could he run away and win this thing?!!!
why do women always race like idiots?
Felix about to "lap" everybody. If only it were on a track...

well except for the women's race being a perfect counter example - there women roughly Hall's ability broke away successfully.
but obv no firm rule here.
Watson is not supposed to be running away like this. We have entered a new era of cautious East Africans.
At some point Watson is going to actually start pushing hard, and then somebody will panic.
Did Larry just say he was surprised that no one in the women's field has made a break? Is he even watching?
I noticed Felix was looking good earlier. Next few miles important, because soon there aren't so many miles left... unless Felix has overcooked it and the pack shouldn't assume that. 2:27 race pace should be within her range.
"Jaclyn Carraro was another one on the women's side. She was quite a woman"
Looked like she was trying to take out the lead bike with that bottle
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
