Official Prague Marathon- Galen Rupp Prediction Thread

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?

2:07:30, gets outkicked by the dude that ran 2:04 in Dubai last 5K

2:0:10.50

We all know Rupp can time trial. 2:05:28.

DNF. Goes home DEVASTATED!

204:56 ftw.

I think I’m some thread I predicted 2:07:50 for 1st? In which case I will shrug and go about my day.

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

Got to say I enjoyed your preview, thanks for the write up.

Now if I can only find the strength to wake up at 3AM.

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.

M.A.G.A..

3rd in 2:07

Barely breaks 2:10, or slower.

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.

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.

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.

Planning on going to sleep very early tonight and waking up for the race. We'll see how well that goes...

Prediction: 2:06:30 FTW.

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

WORLD RECORD.
