Ran a 10k in June (4 Viewers)

[culdeus]

mile 22 4:36. Holy #### they are going to try to break it. My god they are hauling.

 

[darrin40]

I went to track Ryan Hall and there are two in the race. One of them seems to be neck and neck with grue.

Woman's race is setting up for an amazing finish!!!!

Women's Race Day Commentary11:54 a.m. Erkesso is in Kenmore Square,a mile to go, and Pushkareva is certainly back in camera range. Erkesso knows she's there.11:52 a.m. Last year, Pushkareva ran three marathons and won two of them. She is not the fastest woman in this field, but she seems to have a good head for strategy. Erkesso's lead is down to 16 seconds.

Chad just cranked out another 22:20 5k! He's doing fantastic.

Great finish, won't ruin it for those that can see it live.

 

[Workhorse]

Erkesso holds on! What a race.

 

[pigskinliquors]

Grue is at 25k @ 1:50:55 = still 7:09 pace!!!!!!!!!!

Seems to be running very strong and consistent. What a great effort.

Men's Race Day Commentary

11:57am Cheruyiot is totally alone as Merga has dropped like a stone.

At 24 miles, the split is 1:55:18 (4:36). Cheruiyot is flying, with a distinct shot at his namesake's course record.

Barring disaster, it is inevitable!!!

 

[2Young2BBald]

Erkesso holds on! What a race.

And almost went the wrong way at the finish. She didn't look so good a few moments ago on camera.

 

[tri-man 47]

1:33:35 1/2 for Grue. WOW, just wow so far.

Last year, he did the Chicago R&R 1/2-marathon at 1:33:07. Yipes!

 

[pigskinliquors]

FWIW: everything after mile 21 is downhill. If Grue can just hold on a bit longer; and not start cramping from the change from up to downhill!!!! His next split is key.

Correct. This is the key 5k in the race.

 

[Workhorse]

Robert Cheruiyot has run his last two miles in 4:36 and 4:49

That's just unbelievably fast.

 

[Workhorse]

He did it!!!!

2:05:51.

That's freaking amazing.

 

[darrin40]

Hall missed third by 3 seconds.

 

[Workhorse]

Cheruiyot's time wasn't just the first ever under 2:06, it was the first ever under 2:07 also.

 

[Darrinll40]

Hall missed third by 3 seconds.

Well, actually 2 seconds, but that would have been a tie.

Would have expected him by this point, no?

 

[Workhorse]

Hall missed third by 3 seconds.

Well, actually 2 seconds, but that would have been a tie.

He still just set the fastest American time ever in Boston. Way to go Ryan!

Sometimes there's a lag in the computers getting the times on-line.

Meb right behind in 5th as he "limped in" in 2:09. The winner was just interviewed and stated he had problems in the back of his leg too.

Wouldn't it be the split as of 35K? 30K is 18.6 miles, and the steady climb through Newton is right after that.

You're right. Got my conversions messed up. 30K puts you by the Newton/Wellesley line -- The beginning of the hills have started but you're not to Comm Ave and the really tough stuff just yet.

 

[wraith5]

So is he through the hard part of the course now?

He held it together. Unlike my buddy 3717 who has flat out asploded out there.

In great shape -- and I'm betting he's got a strong finish in him. I'm thinking under 22 for the next 5k.

 

[culdeus]

What does it mean when it says, "Start Time Offset: 4:27"

Gun time until he crossed the timing mat.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

What does it mean when it says, "Start Time Offset: 4:27"

I'm guessing that's how long it took to get to the start line after the gun went off. (Gun time - Chip time = 4:27)?

Sorry, that should be 22:53 for the last 5k.My bad.

That's what I thought....I assume the time we're tracking is his chip time.

Do we have any Thread By-laws to vote on? We certainly have a quorum this morning! Good times.

 

[culdeus]

It is sort of fun to watch this with 4 guys I know all running in about the same range except the one buddy that is really struggling now.

 

[Workhorse]

One of my college friends is running her first marathon today in Boston.

She's toughing it out but already starting to fade a bit at the half way mark.

I had to look up the meaning of that word.

I don't know if we have any By-laws, but if there are any crappy tasks to be done, now is the time to nominate Grue to take care of them. Does anyone second the motion?Unfortunately, I now have a meeting and will miss the big finish.

PM me a cell # if you'd like me to text you his finishing time.
