what's going on with Priscah Jeptoo and Edna Kiplagat?

Decided to strategically let them go. Jeptoo is slowly working her way back up. I don't think she realized just how far ahead she let them get.

she's not designed for the headwind

I love John McEnroe. I'm glad when he talked they still showed the race.

That's the advantage of ESPN. When they have the people talking, they actually show the race.

This Lakota Indian special I bet is the last time they cut away for a human interest until the end of the race.

PA is 31:20 thru 5k.

Kyle Merber ‏@TheRealMerb 13m

@Flotrack that converts to a ~20:38 for a flat chested woman

3:23 gap for the two women waaaaay out front. This is going to be interesting.

This feed is working fine: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/live but they are running BS features on Indians instead of the race now.

12th mile for men 4:52.

This interview while in the middle of a marathon.................................

So far I have seen zero use of the split screen technology they promised

we are talking 20+ seconds per mile that the pack needs to gain on her now. only an major collapse would lose it for her. Though with the marathon, there are many epic collapses that have happened.

She is going to go back and teach Indians how to run slow and answer stupid questions from a moron.

why dont those savages build a f'ing sidewalk and take their sob stories elsewhere, im trying to watch a marathon.

You went to the wrong place

Then they return to the marathon at "one of the most important points" and cut to commercial.

Can you imagine what would happen if they covered NFL this badly?

Jeptoo is on the hunt!!!!

5:48 16th mile for the leader but Jeptoo just gained 33 seconds on her so she ran 5:15. only up by 2:51 now.

15 seconds of racing in almost 7 minutes.
