London & Boston appreciation post
If you haven't watched the Boston Marathon yet and plan to, stop reading now. Just thought I'd share my excitement after watching two consecutive days of great marathoning. Here are a few brief thoughts on London and Boston:
London Women: Mary Keitany is a freakin' stud. 2hr 19'19". Ridiculous.
London Men: Mutai ran 28:44 from 30km to 40km. That's good, right?
Boston Women: Was Kim Smith one wonky calf away from going wire-to-wire today? Maybe she would have been caught regardless, but damn she looked strong. Terrible luck. I found myself yelling at the TV as Desiree Davila (who?) almost took the win. The epitome of "bitter-sweet".
Boston Men: I know they had a tailwind, I know the course is net downhill, but 2:03:02 is still absolutely ridiculous. So is 2:03:06, for that matter, and the 2:04:5x from Gebre and Hall.
Do Al Trautwig and Larry Rawson make anyone else's ears bleed?
