    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.

    Looks like Kam and Kitata are starting to gap Tola and Desisa.

    It looks like Kitata is Kamworor's personal pacer.

    Allie Kieffer is running miles in the 5:20s now. Earlier she was leading 2nd pack so she must have just decided to power home.

    Rolling my eyes. Enough of this Shalane charade. Her win last year was a fluke and she looks older than 37.
