So I'm in the media room and in a bad mood. NBC is doing a trial run for the Olympics and yet in the media room they are giving us the Trautwig/Rawson feed. Go figure.
They've also gotten rid of the best aspect of the media room. They had a white board where they wrote the split of the leader every single mile. They'd get it called in from the course. Honestly, it was the main reason why I came to the media room. You got a great sense of what was happening with the pace.
For some reason, I've been told John Hancock wanted it gone. I guess they assumed it was too antiquated. So now they have replaced with a static screen that has the bibs of all of the elites.
Anyways, I"m sure all of you wanted the wheelchair first mile split 2:33.
my baa stream is useless - keeps pausing for ages.
Looks like the best Kenyans are opting more and more for London over Boston every year. The opposite for Ethiopians. Are turfs being staked out for the major marathons?
Since there aren't a lot of Americans in the race, I know many of you will be looking to closely follow the media marathon race which focuses only American media members.
The only two organizations that I know of that have had the guts to enter are LetsRun.com (Jonathan Gault) and Sports Illustrated (Chris Chavez). Now, it's not fair to expect an antiquated media organization like SI to battle a young upstart like LetsRun head to head.
We are going to do the battle as a handcapped race. Does anyone know Chavez's PR? What about Gaults? Gault's is 2:30s. I think Chavez is 1-2 hours slower. So we'll handicap based on their PRs.
So it's hotter than expected. THey just said it was 69 at the start for the women!!!
6:04 first mile for the women.
Bummer Rojo. Hopefully Rawson will come up with some of his memorable zingers to at least provide some entertainment for you. I'm stuck with Switzer, also lame and not as funny.
I'm watching the local TV - WBZ broadcast, does anyone know who is
commentating?
For the Bingo, if a random woman goes with the leaders does that count?

Doesn't Toni Reavis do that one? If so he's good.
Rojo just put on headphones and stream the NBCSN one.
Shocking how the slower women couldn't keep up with such a slow first mile. The real elite field is so small
Yea, it's very hot and sunny. Mid-high 60s already
Any working feeds for people outside the US?

It's two women right now, Tollefson maybe?
Maybe the male commentators come on for the men's race.
Maybe they are being smart and holding back. Gonna be a bloodbath with with the warm day.
