I'm drinking a Wasatch Brewing DEVASTATOR in honor of what the rest of the field is going to go home feeling like after Rupp brings home the victory.

Haha same!!

I don't think Rupp will run away with this one. But it will DEFINITELY be a battle and a fun Race to watch.

Somehow I think Ward will be an odd darkhorse in this one. Don't really know what he'll do on a course like this.

Rooting for Ward to have a great race.

For us West Coast folks, is that 6:30am start?

Should I skip calculus class to watch?

I love calc but I love Galen even more

Rupp to win in 2:07:43.

Gladys Cherono wins in 2:21:23. Hasay third in 2:23.47.

I don't need to drink because I will be high on Rupp's victory all Monday.

I hope they run fast, I look for Rupp to win,hopefully in 2:04.30, but realistically in 2:06.50, is there any one who will push the pace,with the tailwind? Mutai 2nd 2:06.55, Suguru Osaka 3rd in 2:07.22, I hope Ward, Meb AND Abdi break 2:10 (would be a USA and course masters record for Abdi and Meb), unlikely I know, but I hope.

I hope the Singer, Atsede Baysa wins in 2:20.31, Gladys Cherono in 2nd 2:20. 45, Hasay 3rd in 2:21.09, others Linden 2:22.22

Americans work on Easter Monday? Not very Christian.

Yes, skip the class.

I'll go with Rupp with at least a PR, assuming he stay's hydrated and keeps emergency 'electrolytes' packages before heartbreak hill. It will be a psychological race. Good luck to Galen.

It's far better for your health to run a shorter distance. It's also a greater achievement to run a fast time in the 5K.

I hope we see some people get after it today. Looks like the it;s going to be sunny and high 60s -low 70s the whole way for both the men and women. A WNW wind at the start that shifts to nice Westerly tailwind at Wellesley.
