Congrats to Jiptoo and Desisa! And I was quite proud of Goucher, Flanagan, and Hartmann!
I wonder if we could just rely entirely on an interpreter for the post-race interviews, when the winners aren't comfortable with English? Not because I mind, or because of some kind of stupid idea that only English should be spoken by the participants, I just feel sorry for the poor winners. I know when I've just finished a marathon, I can barely speak my own native language legibly...I can't imagine understanding and then answering questions about race strategy in a foreign tongue in that state.

American women went 4,6, 15. Men went 4, 9, 10. Some folks might have heard about #15 gal, Stephanie Rothstein (now Bruce), but I bet not many know who the 9th and 10th guys were.
RA's BadDawg: 12th in AG -- 2:47:52.
I think I'd read about Tapia not long ago in a magazine. Good for him to peak at this level.
an amazing likeness
Dude is a great guy first, and what an impressive runner...
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

There's been an explosion near the finish line and runners are not being allowed to finish bc emergency crews are in.

Last I saw that shot, it was full of crowds and hubbub. Now, no crowds, different kind of hubbub.
MTA: "Multiple injuries" reported.

Holy fuck. I hope none of our people are out there.
