Not trying to create a conspiracy theory but why does nyc bring in 15 African male studs for the men’s race but very few women? The women race very impacted with a predictably slow start. Do they just want another American to finish high?

Getting too old to expect good coverage, but they could at least have the race clocks showing at all times.
The stream on abc7ny is like 30 seconds behind the Eurosport. Are they delaying it on purpose, so if something happens they can prevent it getting on air?
My chances of seeing Uncle Bob running on ESPN2 are really high since the elite runners are hardly being shown.
Kitata going full Yuki right now.
And they cut to a fucking commercial!!!
ESPN sucks massively.
Who are they gearing this atrocious coverage to?

It's actually chilly. 9 degrees at the moment, 12 by the finish. Glorious weather, just as it was in Amsterdam a few weeks ago.
I just showed up at the media center. It is a glorious day here in NY.
The official temp at the start was 47 degrees.
If anything I'd say it feels a little warm in the sun. I was waering a long sleeve shirt and a vest and thought if I was running I"d e a little warm. But tehw ind is almost nonexistent.
Why can't Nike pay ESPN $250K for commercial free coverage?
Hell, I love triathlon. Amazon sponsored the Ironman World Championship this year. They brought up Amazon every 10 fucking minutes to the point it was a meme. But they also showed the 9 hour race in its entirety in a Facebook feed. I watched the entire Ironman World Championship live this year.
I would love for a commercial free feed even if I had to hear "presented by Nike" every 2 minutes.
I'm rooting for the chubby chick in pink
Ok, that show of Mary Keitany rolling her eyes looking bored with disdain on her face was awesome.
Women's race remains VERY slow -- 2:36 marathon pace through 7 miles, all the elites still together.
Not joking - Shalane looks taller with those shoes
I can't even find a decent Twitter account to follow with updates. This is a goddamn embarrassment.

So is Huddle as well. I will be surprised if she finishes.
I'd laugh my ass off if NYC ended up being slower than Boston some how.
Some of these East African ladies look fucking bored.
I was convinced at the start of the day we'd see a new NY American record in the women's race. It's only 2:25:53 (Goucher) but these women just hit 10k in 37:05. 2:25:53 pace is 34:34 at 10k. So they just tossed away 2:31.
You'd think people would want to run for some of the time bonuses.
