      • Ok. The race is almost here.

        Race is at 3 am east coast time.

        For viewing info in the US. It's definitely on NBC Sports Gold (PPV). So those who pay for Gold (also get Diamond League, World Marathon Majors, anything on NBC- USAs) at least you could watch it later.

        It also will be shown here:
        http://public.pim.cz/RunCzech/sh/live_FM_en.html
        However, we don't think that it will be available to US IP addresses as when we view that with a US IP address it says
        "The owner of this video has restricted it's access"
        but if we use a UK address it has a Play Button. Watchathletics.com has some other links

        This thread will have live updates and for now will have your predictions. Let's hear them.

        Weather looks pretty goood. 57 and sunny at start and 62 at the finish with 6 to 10mph winds. That's much better than London which saw 64 at the women's start and 71 at the men's finish.

      • Weather is better than I thought so I'm sticking with my time from the podcast 2:05:36 American record. The organizers would not give us any info on the pacing.

      • Not sure why you guys repeatedly call NBC Gold "PPV." Wouldn't pay-per-view imply you are paying each event rather than a yearly subscription?

      • 2:07:12 for the win after a close battle with Kibitok. Lemma a distant 3rd in 2:08 low.

      • The most important factor to determine how fast Galen performs tomorrow is a combination of the weather and the number of hot Czech chicks along the 'thon course. If it is warm enough for the Prague hotties to be wearing white shorts to accent their geometrically curvaceous lines then Rupp will go under 2:06. If the weather is on the nippy side then the hotties might be shivering and not exposing their pleasing smiles thus lowering Galen's chances of going sub 2:07.

        Hotties Prediction = 2:05:30
        Non- Hotties Prediction = 2:08:10

        The main reason Rupp dropped out of Boston was the Wellesley College co-eds were too cold to make it out this year for their usual cheer relief thus unable to boost T-levels at critical 'thon juncture before heartbreak hill.

      • 2:08:01.
        "Goes home devastated" (doesn't win and not a blistering time), but makes a point to say that he's really happy with it because he PRd and that was the goal and it was tough to race again after peaking for Boston.
        Runs a 6 x 1mile in 4:05s as a cool down.

        What are you trying to convey here? The race is being broadcast LIVE on NBC Sports Gold at 2:55am. You can watch it if you have a subscription. Not PPV.

        I agree with this ending for Mr. Rupp at the Prague Marathon.
