I believe the writers of letsrun.com are over looking the talent of Gwen Jorgensen. It's her debut but I see her finishing on the podium. I've witnessed some of her tri runs. Her style is running people down to take the lead. She will be on the podium in November.
From the following article:
http://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/columnists/gary-damato/2016/09/13/damato-gwen-jorgensen-racing-toward-new-goals/90297246/"Jorgensen, 30, also plans to compete in the Island House Triathlon, Oct. 28-30 in the Bahamas. That triathlon is made up of multiple events over three days, with a field of elite athletes competing for $500,000 in prize money.
A week later, she’ll be in New York to run in her first marathon. And she readily admits she’ll be under-prepared.
'I have no goals for New York'"
There is just no way she finishes on the podium. If the over/under is 2:30, I'd definitely take the over.
