Glad we missed one of the biggest moves in the men's race for that incredible story.

So while Teg is picking it up. He hasn't run a single 5km split as fast as any of Ritzs, but there is still a long way to go.
Mutai leading the lead group of 4, kitwarra and kimetto also there. The 4th guy is dropping off, he's micah kogo. Where's mosop?
Leaders have completely broken up. If Ritz still has it, this will help him greatly.
ritz, go for it, catch a guy, draft, catch a guy, draft.
Teg at 2:10 pace said he wants sub 2:10 so spot on.

Joan is a legend and deserves respect. Those bashing her have zero class.
this is dumb just because she ran fast a looooong time ago...doesn't mean she is immune to criticism. She's not a legend in journalism or announcing
the photographers need to get out of the middle of the road
Emmanuel Mutai and Kimmetto side by side, dropping Kogo and Kitwarra
come on mutai....I had him in my office pool
i'm glad i picked mutai over mosop, poor boy is a minute down since the last 5k split, he'll probably drop

She deserves respect as a runner, but as a marathon commentator you have to agree that she is absolutely terrible.
Ritz has gone from 2 minutes down to 3 minutes down from the leaders in just the last couple miles. Is he blowing up? Would be a shame.
Ritz 1:45:50. The wheels have come off. Cramps?
Last year 1:45:15.
2:03:43 pace at 35km!!! They'd picked it up. Last 5km 14:35.
This is going to be epic. To guys racing at an incredible pace.
Unreal.

She has respect but even legends need to know what their liabilities are.
She could have at least studied the proper pronunciation of the names of the field she is covering.
are you guys watching
this on the NBC Chicago stream? it works for you? Mine does not. not on NBC site, not on LRC, not on mobile app.
nobody is bashing her as a person or a runner, they're bashing her commentating ability
