Letsrun just got a shoutout from the British commentators.

Krazy Keitany.

The brits are quoting letsrun!

Props to the British announcers for mentioning letsrun.com- a very knowledgeable website

Bobby Curtis keeping with the leaders.

Keitany is enaring half-way. She was 51:28 at 10 miles. Her 11th mile was slower but so was the chase pack so I'm assuming that's a tougher mile. It was 5:23 so she was 56:51. The announcers keep saying "Her last mile was slower' but in reality she has already passed 12 and it was back on the pace - 5:11.

LetsRun.com way ahead of the coverage.

Rojo: "Moran and Curtis are dropped."Jojo: "Bobby Curtis keeping with the leaders."

haha. Just after posting that the runner tracker updated and I see he is starting to fall off from the leaders.

That joker from the NYC half is leading again.

And Larry Rawson is back. YES!

woman commentator is terrible! I think I will watch without sound.

The woman commentator is Kathrine Switzer, the first woman ever to run the Boston Marathon, and she also won the New York Marathon in 1974 and started the tradition of races giving t-shirts to the runners to advertise their races. She has commentated for TONS of marathons; today must be an off day for her. You should watch the British feed instead!

4:39 for mile 6 for the leaders. Starting to get hot.
