Korir and Sisson. Won't be close.
Can't wait to see the results
you can watch the live stream online free - this race always has great coverage and you can watch previous years, I really like 2015 and 2016
many people use this race to qualify for OT since it is flat and fast
Kenyans FTW.
Storms, lots of rain, puddling, flooding...really ugly weather. We have had 8 straight hours of storms
Looks like the weather might hold off long enough for a decent race. Is Sisson still racing?
Rain has stopped, about 60 degrees but pretty humid

Temps in the 60s, dew point also in the 60s, 97% humidity ... going to be a sweaty one.
Looked liked there was a slight false start on the far side of the men's field, but they let it go ...
Gotta apologize about 10TV covering the event live. Josh Cox knows his stuff but this Angela An is not going to SHUT UP
Braun out in front of a big lead pack coming up on mile 2. First mile was 4:48 according to the guy in the pace car.

Did I hear her just refer to a 5k as a "quarter marathon"? I guess slightly better than calling it a "5k marathon" ...
appears we will get 15 minutes of race coverage and 50 minutes of fluff stories and commercials
This is not a race broadcast it is a shoe infomercial
I'm impressed with this guy "Matthew" running just in front of Aliphine and Rogers. He looks like a hobby jogger but he's clearly running low 5-something pace.

Bill Rogers would have raced this following Boston. Where's Galen,Ward, or Meb? Only Wardian seems to want to race alot.
"the first step is the best step"
