Bunch of local yokels - seen better coverage of high school meets
Absolutely no coverage of actual race. -
Yeah local tv ...did you expect espn to cover? The race doesn’t start until 7:45am central time. If you don’t want to tune in and enjoy, that’s your decision.
-
Looks like several new trials qualifiers from the half.
-
Pretty good so far!
-
Carrie Tollefson just mentioned that “surprise, blast from the past, 2-time winner Mary Akor” is in the lead pack at 5k ... how did Grandmas even let her in? Wasn’t she suspended for PEDs?
-
Thanks, i love watching other people run.
I’ll take free streaming with local commentators ANY day of the week.
Odd bit of commentary, but the bolder boulder had frank shorter commentating, who you would expect to know the names of the top american runners in the race? but he did poorly with aliphine tuliamuk’s name over and over. -
also on youtube

but check out the tailwind, 10+ mph steady and 17-20mph gusts

Did you hear what they were saying about the pacers and GPS watches? So weird...

live tracking, 10K men at 29:58 and women at 35:22, they are flying

The finish line announcers seem like local news people. The other commentators are outstanding. They're giving plenty of splits and doing well calling a race with a solo leader, which is a difficult task.
Charlie Mahler- a longtime fixture in the MN running scene.
Dick Beardsley - look him up
Chad Salmela - Olympic color commentator for NBC biathlon; college running coach
Carrie Tollefson - you know her -
Leader rolling... 4:26 tenth mile 😮

She’s not in the elite field, so she can’t receive prize money, like at Austin. -
I'm going to have to side with the broadcast is ridiculous, it's one thing to do "human interest" stories like all running coverage seems to do for some weird reason but this is far worse than that.
and since they seem to have a feed from the lead, they should always PIP that if they want to show 4-5 hour runners because wow, what are we looking at, it's like people are contemplating if they left the stove on at home, why not work on your 5K time first before almost walking for five hours? -
Great drama with the leader here!!
-
Leader crashing with no sign of the chase pack makes for strangely compelling TV. Will the chase pack catch sight of him and smell blood?
-
Andrew Colley running sub-5:00 13.1 to 20 miles. On pace for sub-2:11
-
Joe Whelan also looking damned strong in 5th.
-
Nell Rojas now rolling 5:3x's

Colley 2:12:13, about 15 sec behind winner Kongin. Ran out of real estate...
