I seriously find it suspicious that these women/men show up to world champs and run 5-10mins slower than they do in other races. Makes you wonder if they taper off PEDS for these big races where they know they will be tested compared to Chicago / Boston where the same men/women show up and run way faster.
Consider the course

Do you think maybe possibly the heat/weather might have a little bit to do with it?

Oh yeah, definitely ironic. I mean, the irony is just killing me.
Ironic to the max!
the major marathons have designated pace makers.
Race tactics?

It seems like you don't understand what the word ironic means.
Anyways, non-rabbits races with lots of turns, high temps, and large cash payouts always become tactical affairs. Duh.
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Another reason why the course design was STUPID!!!!
I counted 12 turns in one mile.
yet another moran who doesn't know the meaning of ironic

OP is an Alanis Morissette fan.
No pacers + crazy course + no obvious favorites
It's like a million knives when all you want is a spork.

How is that irony?
Weather is my first thought.
