Teg doesn't do marathons... at least fast.
The African runners, I am sure, know Meb but do they have any idea who Ritz is? His 2:07 PR is excellent for America but hardly by world standards. But his 5K time probably is better than every runner but Tadese. If he were to win would it be the biggest surprise/upset since Billy Mills?
Pretty cool to see two Americans leading Boston simultaneously, even if neither will actually win.
Shalane about 12 seconds back
Desi Ritz
I'm letting myself hope here
SHE GOT LEGS, SHE KNOWS HOW TO USE THEM....
OH SORRY TATIANA.
Shalane not dead yet!
More likely to win at this point American man (Ritz or Meb) or Women (Desi)???
Flanagan's done for the day.

Yorek is fading a tad:
20K 11:16:10AM 01:16:04 24:43 07:58 7.55
Ritz is probably the only guy in the race who is coached by someone who knows how to win Boston FIRST HAND.
Women apparently splitting 13:24 from 20k to 25k..... Nice work on that one Universal Sports
