Didn't he just do Galveston 70.3 last weekend?

Yep, he's a beast. Dude has two little kids too.

Good job, pilot. Won't lie I'm glad I didn't sign up. Do enjoy running in the rain but that didn't look fun.

Great job. If I remember correctly, you excel at the fake marathons. I tried to watch you finish live but the news website will not steam if you are outside the region.

That woman is a total bad ass. 4.0 in college, athlete, and nursing major. I love that she just wanted to win enough to cover the trip.

Great article. Major congrats to all that ran today. Terrible weather to get through.

Haha yeah. From here on out I'm sticking to generous downhill marathons and 12.8 mile half marathons.

2nd Place woman, Sarah Sellers, was running her second marathon ever. She works full-time. She didn't even know she took second place until someone told her after she finished the race. That's pretty badass.

Nice little 75k surprise

""Early on in the race, I was feeling horrible and I just kind of nudged [Shalane] and said 'hey, I might drop out. There's a good chance I'm going to drop out today. If you need somethingblock the wind, whatever, let me know.' And so she nudged me and she's like 'I'm going to hit the bathroom. And I was like 'well, if it slows up, great, if not I'll try to tuck in and bring you back to the group.' That was that. When I got back to the group and kind of connected, Molly was at the front and Daska and I was like well, I should probably help Molly reconnect to that. Then I turned back and I was in third or and fourth and I thought, I probably shouldn't drop out. So I kept going."

Awesome. I love the power of sport.

Wow!!! Great times by the Ags today!!
Congrats everyone.

I can get over it for moments like this.

Great job man, you did awesome, especially in these conditions!

Great article on Kawauchi and how the early surges were all part of the master plan.
