Larry just said it's ideal weather for the marathon. Maybe for the spectators. It's warm for the elites. Not scorching but certainly warm.
To those of you listening on the NBCSN, how is the broadcast?
Women
Mile 1 - 6:04
Mile 2 - 5:36 (11:52)
Mile 3 - 5:53
Mile 4 - 5:38
Mile 5 - 5:45 (Neely Spence Gracey leads)
Mile 6 - 5:52
Men
Mile 1 - 4:52
Mile 2 - 9:55 (20 meter lead)
The broadcast is good. They are like the rest of us intrigued by the very slow pace, especially in the women's race.
No comments on the weather other than not much wind which is adding to the question on why the pace is slow.
They ripped the Japanese guy or going out too fast and predicted a quick demise - which happened. They lamented that anyone can go out strong in a big city marathon to experience the lead and media attention.
