        Good battle for top American honors in the men's race.

        It's a shame they aren't talking aobut it or showing it.

        Ward and Derrick! We'll see if they can hold on. Not who I'd expect to still be up there at this point. A sub-2:13 from both would be surprising!

        Does Mary seriously have a shot at the CR even after the in-race warmup??

        Nah. CR is 2:22:31. Keitany will be close to 2:24:45 or something.
