His Facebook says he didn't train for the marathon at all. Less than 20 miles per week leading up. He just wanted to lead for as long as he could as a stunt. Annoying.

Still no breaks. How do we think everyone's looking?
Teg wearing mid-ankle white tube socks to go with his black shoes
Please tell me Ritz didn't go with the 4:38 first mile.
A mountain goat course?
"They have words for that in the Kenyan language."
This is the greatest Rawson line ever.
Where's Cabadass? Taking it easy now to play mop up later?
Romanian lady dropped back. Why is Desi taking the lead?
Desi breaking the win now by taking the lead. Will American women ever learn?
Being dropped
" Kirui & Tola working together!"!! LOL C'mon guys.
Arciniaga still up there !?! How often do you see 4 Americans (men) still with the lead pack 5k into a major marathon?

His athlete tracking says he was through 5K in 15:25 so way off the leaders who were 14:41.
Why is Des leading? So pointless and strategically dumb.
I don't know about the first mile negatively impacting Ritz, but Teg is not gonna run well if he tries to hang at the pace as he is thus far.

Yet he kept the pace honest (thank you). Because of lack of sub elites in the womens race, that one is another snooze fest.
2:25 predicted for women
2:04 predicted for men
Lead pack now has about 10 men. Tola, Krui, Chebet sharing teh lead. Nick Arciniaga and Meb in there, Ritz and Teg off the back.
