Yeah, the constant headwind will be a total mind####. So hard to account for wind.
But go @SteelCurtain!! I have another friend from my church who took off two minutes after SC.

For those watching on TV, how to the crowds look? Much sparser?

"...running unnecessarily wide there ..." then a follow-up on running tangents.

What crowds? Just kidding there’s some people out there. You have to think, just finishing in these conditions is an accomplishment of a lifetime. I’d probably cry, then quit. Hopefully our boy Steel is a BMF!

One of my race pet peeves is when people come out of the aid stations and drop their cups on the ground when there are trash boxes up the road for the next 30-40 yards or so. Takes two seconds to throw it away and one less cup for the volunteers to have to clean up.

My friend, who is running today, several years ago slipped on a cup after an aid station and kind of did the splits (happened right after Heartbreak). He kind of hobbled in from there.

Well, the good new is nobody will know if you just piss yourself instead of stopping to find a tree/porta-potty, will shave a minute or so there.
Those of us who ran in 2015 had a day kind of like this but not quite as bad, and besides the discomfort the lack of crowds was the biggest disappointment. Have to think they're even thinner this year. Everyone who finishes is earning their medal today.

True. Great to see Desi doing this ...but there's nothing much to see right now. Cut to the men, then come back for her last 1 1/2 miles.

Huge result for Hansons-Brooks with Linden's win in the Women's race and Shadrack Biwott finishing 3rd for the men.

How ####### awesome that she does this and then wins the race.
@ChiefD: La di da, I'm just going to out in awful cold windy conditions and run with some other Americans and oh I'll just slow down while someone else I'm running against stops to take a dump in a port-a-potty while the rest of the elite runners run away and then I'll just catch back up and keep running pretty fast even though an elite runner takes a huge lead and just catch her at the hill and then pass her like it's nothing and win the Boston Marathon as an American woman for the first time in 30 years.

Wife calls me at work:
Her: What are you doing?
Me: Watching some guy I know from the internet run the Boston Marathon.
Her: Shouldn't you be working?
Me: Yeah, but this is important. He's running downhill for 26.2 miles in a driving rain with the wind blowing in his face about 20 miles per hour. Oh, and it's like 25 degrees with the wind chill - maybe colder. Doesn't that sound impressive?
Her: One of your internet nerd running friends?
Me: Yeah
Her: You're an idiot.

I'm going to have Otis's wife ban her.

I remember cheering hard for her years back when she came 'outta nowhere' to press the Africans to the finish. So siked she won this the way she did. Saying 'well deserved' just doesn't do it justice.

Btw, you can track on your computer too on the map here: http://boston-iframe.r.mikatiming.de/2018/?pid=tracking
Although the little dude's legs on the map are far too slow to be his.

As long as he continues onward I'm impressed! Today isn't the day to worry about splits.
