I heard he's been in a cabin in the woods doing 120 mile weeks and loads of 20x400 workouts. He'll emerge with long hair and a huge beard at the Trials start line.

Seventy days until the trials. I am having a quiet few days waiting for Dubai elite lists. Sounds like a recipe for a profiles thread, 35 men, 35 women.
Korir
Rupp
dark horse - not one of the old guys.
Hasay
Linden
Huddle with 30% chance.

Ward and Fauble running 2:09:XX in Boston make them clear candidates. Of the top qualifiers' races, Boston is most similar to Atlanta in terms of terrain, weather predictability, and challenge. I've run both Boston and the Atlanta course, in addition to Chicago, CIM, Grandma's and Houston. Boston's your best measuring stick.
I believe what he says here.
The only things that are similar between the Atlanta course and the Boston Marathon is that they are both 42.195 km and run on asphalt.

So you know more than he does? Have you run both courses?
1) Kieffer
2) Hadley
3) Linden
Did some reading and I have 8 women in order and 9 men.
Ward, rupp, fauble top 3
Hasay, Sisson, hall among the women
If Sisson or Huddle make the marathon team and the 10,000 team, do they run the 10,000 in Japan and then a fall marathon?

Gotta believe Seppo Kaitainen has a shot with those workouts you mention.
All the 10k track women will be rooting like crazy for Sisson, Huddle and Kipyego to make the marathon team and not have to retreat back the 10k at the June T&F Oly Trials.
Sisson and/or Huddle may run the 10k trials race even if they make the marathon team but would do so as a training run. Their focus will be solely on the Olympic Marathon.
Also, due to his recent injury, doubt that Chris Derrick will have enough time to get back in good enough shape to run the marathon trials. Although he hasn't announced his intentions, expect him to follow Gwen Jorgensen and concentrate on track this spring, run the 10k trials race - a track distance in which he's always been competitive - then resume his marathon career next year.
Do you think any of the contenders will run the Houston half in preparation?

Sara Hall will. I bet lots of them will.

Everyone else will DNF because there's too many hills.
