Official 2013 ING New York City Marathon Live Discussion Thread

Unbelievable....17 mi into the women's race and they're showing this shid.

Jeptoo last mile only 5:30

Beat that dead horse, the hell with the race.

I'm on letsrun and I have no idea whats going on. Is there any other channel showing this? BBC? Al jazera sport?

Letsrun just got a shout out on the Eurosport coverage, saying how the "10mph wind predicted on letsrun was correct"! Pretty cool.

Did Letsrun cite the meteorologist who they got that prediction from?

dADO PICKED it up to 5:23 in 17th mile but Jeptoo gained 19 seconds on her by running a 5:04 17th mile!!!!!

wow jeptoo's form is impeccable

Eurosport much much better than ABC. Actual video of race. So disappointing ABC/ESPN coverage abominable.

Wholly Shit! I am getting an update on the actual race. Are they sure that they want to do this. The american audience might change the channel if they have to watch running.

Men's leaders hit halfway @ 1:05:07

Finally, a post about the race.

You guys complaining about the coverage are exactly as bad as the coverage you're complaining about. You get that, right?

Stop polluting this thread. Make a coverage thread if you want (I agree it sucks). Delete all the coverage posts in this on (including mine) so we can discuss the damn RACE!

Joffry Mutai?

The women's leaders are cooked, Jeptoo is charging like a bull. She has both NY and WMM in the bag unless Kiplagat can pull off a miracle.

18th m ile for women. 5:31 but Jeptoo is rolling - 5:05!!!

If she gains 20 seconds a mile, she will catch her by the finish
