      • Well, I didn't see it, but someone watching the local WBZ feed said she was pretty sick

        What kind of sickness? She looked like she was running really good?

      • Taking the 92 seconds she was off the course into account her "running time" half splits were:

        1:09:27/1:11:02 = 2:20:29

        Nothing much wrong with that pacing. It is possible that her stomach would not have rebelled if she had gone out a bit easier but that's very hard to predict.

      • She really ran a fantastic race. Too bad she had some stomach sickness because she may have run under 2:21

        Actually, now that I check the 5k splits again, they don't reflect that she was off the course for anything close to 92 seconds. The splits are much too even for that.

        Her 5k splits from 25-40k were: 16:54/17:18/17:22.

        Nevertheless, bottom line is she ran best American time ever.

        Fixed, though I don't think there is anything too coarse about the Boston Marathon course.

      • Can anyone else verify or deny this incident? I watched the live BAA feed, which had technical difficulties for about 3-4 minutes. When the stream was back, Flanagan was, too--way back.
