Do the elites who drop out have to wait and ride the bus of shame to the finish like the rest of the common folk? That would be awesome!

Either way congrats to him on a solid victory.
Yeah, that is him. Real good guy. As far as I know he still works at UofL as a maintenance guy. I'm sure we will hear a LOT more about him after today.
Thanks JOHO!
Why Rita Jeptoo run 1:17:39 for the first half? It's too slow for her. Rita runs a consistent even splits considering the hills in the 2nd half. Rita was 13 secs off from 5th place.
I thought there was no way that could be Todd Williams spewing such moronic nonsense in the booth, even though it looked like him. I guess it was indeed Todd. Yikes. Get it together, buddy.
Can someone please post top 5 American times?
Brendan Martin, formerly of Columbia, 13th place overall!!!

Everything about Boston makes it more difficult, downhill course, low dew point, following breeze at their backs.

Weather is never a factor at Boston. The winning times this year are attributed to a lower quality field. If Ryan Hall ran today, he would have won by 7 minutes.

No tailwind this year, really; it was mainly out of the southwest and even south. At the end it might have been out of the east (which is the airport reading 73 degrees, dew point 58, wind East at 7mph).
