Any updates as to why he dropped out before the half? I hate being mislead into the hype when its like "I'm in peak condition" but in reality I'm hanging on by a thread.
Feel bad and hope he just noped out today and maybe has a comeback plan. Don't want to wait til the Olympics to see him again.
Also did he actually go back on course or was he driven by later and his chip go registered? that was weird.

According to Strava he is in extremely comparable condition to his worlds performance. And his tune up race was way better than any other tune up race he has had. So in theory, he was. Sometimes sh** happens. Hopefully it isn’t bad injury that stopped him. It’s almost predictable that these marathoners will race terribly if they talk to the press beforehand and get the “hype” you’re pointing towards.
Cam is your typical, spot on running guy. Nice, quiet, humble, and a bit awkward…it’s kind of awesome!

Why would anyone be more of a fan of Cam than Tola? Tola has a much more exciting career to me.
Well- I’ve never met tola so it’s easy to be so excited for cam to the point I go back onto this dammed website!
Tola is stupid stupid fast. I had to look him up, I don’t follow the roads enough at all. Just cam, Galen, and the madmen I raced against that are crazy enough to race these distances.

Strava didn't say what I think he did? Strava said nothing, you idiots. Strava is dead, Strava is locked in my basement! ... Chicka chicka chicka, Cam Levins, I'm sick of him.
So does anyone know what caused Levins' epic meltdown? He certainly has the creds. He couldn't have asked for better weather. What's the official story? Will the real Cam Levins please stand up?

A runner with his very fast times at shorter distances should do less mileage .
When the move happened just after 10k and Cam didn’t go with the Tola group, it was clearly already over. in his pre race interviews he said he was going to stay on the group with any moves in the style of the Eugene champs and Tokyo. then just roll the dice on what was left last 12k.
When you could see clear as day on camera he chose to stay in the Cheserek group, which got 1+ minute dropped real quick, he probably already knew something was wrong.

“Devastated” is a little dramatic don’t we think? Marathons are extremely taxing. A professional runner that just didn’t catch a good day on the right day would probably be wise to just stop instead of inflicting more damage and requiring more recovery time as opposed to suffering through for no reason. Sometimes you get lucky and the stars all align on the right day, and sometimes you don’t, it’s not more complicated than that, and that’s marathoning. But “devastated”? Little drastic.
I think people are butthurt he was saying "in my mind I can win the NYC marathon" and then he bonked hard (I don't know the reason) and people love it.
I love how Cam is competing with the best out there and trains to win.

I ran in the race. It warmed up pretty quickly and got to the mid 60s by mid day. Not good weather for a Canadian.
