Title: 2019 Boston Marathon
Post by: adarqui on April 14, 2019, 11:45:25 pm

Monday morning!

https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-marathon/2019/01/10/elite-field-set-for-2019-boston-marathon

Cherono is competing this year, he's been red hot. Desisa is coming off of his NY win.

Interested to see how Enoch (Floridian) does. He's not in the official elite list soo.. hope he's able to start w/ the elites so he can drop a better time. I imagine he will be. He's gone 2:18. He should be able to go < 2:15 in this field, which would be huge. FLORIDA!

Incredible race by Degefa.. ran it pretty much by herself. Destruction.

Kiplagat shortened a 3 minute lead down to a minute, in the last few miles.

Cherono is on fire.
