Yeah, he's running a good race too. Keep it strong @SteelCurtain!!

 

[ChiefD]

Next update is the finish line.

 

[gianmarco]

@SteelCurtain to the 3:15 pacer:  "Need any help?  I got this".

 

[ChiefD]

For @The Iguana - his race is just starting.

 

[ChiefD]

No shoveling getting done for the next hour and a half.

No shoveling getting done for the next hour and a half.

The posters over at the ShovelGuys forum are going to wonder if you died.

 

[Zasada]

Negative splits seem so easy when you're sitting on the couch.

Then, when you're actually running, and at the 20 mile point they don't seem so easy.

 

[Zasada]

If all goes as planned, we're 10 minutes away from @The Iguana's 30K update, ~25 minutes away from @gruecd's finish, and 45 minutes from @SteelCurtain's finish.  Hopefully that headwind isn't too strong for our #BMFs.

No kidding. Grue is about to turn into it. 10-20mph from the south/southwest.

 

[xulf]

Meanwhile, @MAC_32 runs a 17:18 5K.  Congrats!  Well done!

@MAC_32 - so awesome!

Whoa. Awesome job @MAC_32

 

[ChiefD]

@The Iguana at 30K in 2:36.

Estimated finish 3:39:39.

Get you some!!!

 

[gianmarco]

@The Iguana through 30K!!

2:36:00 even (8:21 pace).  Holding steady.  Now he races.

On pace for 3:39:39 (and #BeatGru).  He's just thinking of that lovely pasta last night and how stupid we all are. 

COME ON!!!

 

[ChiefD]

@The Iguana is kicking some major ### in his first marathon. GO GO GO!!

 

[Zasada]

@The Iguana is going to show us all that the last 10K of your first marathon can be destroyed by a #BMF!

I guarantee you he is using that as his fuel. If not, he should be.

He's killing it.

 

[ChiefD]

I've refreshed the app about 928 times in the last 30 minutes. Anyone else?

 

[Zasada]

...10 minutes to @gruecd A-goal finish...

 

[Zasada]

In less-related news, I love how the app puts error-bars on the runner's position, which increase with time since the last timing mat.  

 

[MAC_32]

Look at @-OZ- just la-di-#######-da'ing a 1:33 half.

 

[BassNBrew]

And you?

Nada

 

[gianmarco]

Look at @-OZ- just la-di-#######-da'ing a 1:33 half.

Dude, aren't you tired?

I bet you're typing this with your feet, aren't you twinkle toes?

 

[Zasada]

Look at @-OZ- just la-di-#######-da'ing a 1:33 half.

What is it with today?  I feel like I should be racing to benefit from all the #BMFery of the day.  

Kick-###, @-OZ-!

Awesome @-OZ- !!

 

[gianmarco]

I just texted Grue and asked him what he's up to.

If it were @MAC_32 he could actually respond mid-race.

Congrats on your race u fast sob

 

[Zasada]

2:58:29!!!!

 

[ChiefD]

2:58:29

Booyah!!

 

[Zasada]

@gruecd kicked-### in training and then brought it home.  Planning and execution ####ed, had a baby, and it was @gruecd.  

Congratulations, Grue, you earned this!!! 

 

[ChiefD]

New PR. Congrats @gruecd!!

 

[BassNBrew]

2:58:29

Booyah!!

He’s not going to be happy joining the positive split pr club

 

[gianmarco]

Now what would be awesome is if @gruecd waited for @The Iguana at the finish line and tackled him just before he crossed so he couldn't get in before 3:45.

 

[BassNBrew]

One pr, 2 to go

maybe 2 down if Mac pr’d

This is why I don't believe @gianmarco is a doctor.  Way too funny to be a doctor.

Nice thing about your first marathon is that any finish time is a PR.

 

[MAC_32]

Gotta be a proctologist. Million to one shot, doc. Million to one. 

 

[Zasada]

@SteelCurtain finish window approaching.  Likely ~6 minutes from now.

When all this is done, I would like to buy all of today's racers a beer for spacing their finishes apart so nicely.  Makes it much easier to track.

 

[Zasada]

HFS 3:12:43!!!

 

[gianmarco]

3/3 with PRs.

Amazing work.

 

[Zasada]

@SteelCurtain with a kick at the end that mules around the world will envy!  Congrats!!!

 

[ChiefD]

Oh hell yeah @SteelCurtain!!!

 

[ChiefD]

Now we wait.

It's like waiting for Apollo 13 to regain radio transmission.
