Why is Shalane leading so early???
I get that she's "trying to make a point", but this just isn't smart.

She could win if she keeps this lead.
You see Al, unless she gets passed, she'll be in first place at the end of the race. All she needs to do is hold on to the lead!
If the tailwind holds up Shalane can run from the front with no real disadvantage. It's a gamble, but like Joanie in LA it could get her the win.

Does Shalane look relaxed despite going out fast?
She never really looks relaxed... Not judging, but she is one of those people who always looks like they are stomping the ground really hard as they run.

Where is Desi? I don't see her in the lead group with Shalane. Is she leading the 2nd pack behind?
She's being smart
Just to clarify - there are non-Americans in this race too?

I agree
Desi Linden is 40 seconds behind the leaders. This has to be exactly what she didn't want. She wants a slow race.
let's see how she handles this mentally.
Picture freezing, no sound.
are all the feeds out? universal sports lost their womens lead camera
In 2004, at the Olympics, Deena was pretty far back and made her way up to the front.
Who is the other white runner at the back of the front pack?

My god do we learn nothing? How many times have her and Kara lead and blown up?
Desi is not even in sight. Really interesting. I can't imagine the entire lead pack crashing and burning.
This is interesting because so many times in recent years the women have been jogging slow in the opening half.
Odd to see such different approaches by Shalane and Desi so earlry in the race.
That's a suicide pace for Shalane. She'll slow down and limp in.

Shalane has been paid by Deba to rabbit to 30k.
Is Desi just hoping everyone dies?
will be pain full to watch around 15 miles
OR...maybe she sacrificed herself for Desi!
Can't believe Shummacker told Shalane "Take it out hard. You'll drain the Africans, they'll fade and you'll win." Crazy that she's up front at the start. Recipe for failure.
