It started.
I have some friends doing this race but I can't find results/live tracking. Any ideas?
this maybe fastest course in the world, it's just it doesn't have enough money to attract the superstars
back in '11, 10 guys went thru in 1"29-flat !!!
The iPhone tracking app doesn't seem to be working... courtesy of Amsterdam (and soon-to-be NYC) title sponsor Tata Consulting Services.
[Insert golf clap here.]
Wow, they don't have live results or athlete tracking, but this is considered one of the top 10 marathons in the world?
Based on there being apps for phones I presume there was supposed to be live tracking. I suppose something went wrong with the technology then.
Anyway, Wilson Chebet won in 2:05:3x, new course record and three successive victories for him. There's a nice long interview with him a few weeks before the marathon here:
A great result by American Serena Burla who was 2nd female overall in a 2:28:01 PR, her previous best was 2:28:27 in Seoul in 2012.
The condition were reported as a bit windy and humid.

I saw that; she beat some Kenyans too. Feel like a dummy for having no idea who she is. Any idea who coaches her?
Yes, Isaya Okwiya has been her coach ever since she graduated from Missouri years ago.
She was second to Flanagan in the USATF 1/2 champs in 1:10:08 a few years ago and then was diagnosed with cancer in her leg. If you google her name you can see pictures and she is literally missing part of her hamstring. it's quite a story.
She was also stranded in Lyons, CO for several days during the Colorado floods in September.
Results?
any word on what happened to D. Tapia?

Didn't know this about Amsterdam.
I am pissed that I missed the deadline for the Berlin 2014 lottery but maybe Amsterdam is a good alternative!
