I thought Katie was watching it- apparently she is running it as an elite, based on her start time and bib number!

Looks like Robert Cheruiyot won in 2:07:46 (4:53). 
Great time!

The women came down to a sprint at the final 400m, with only a 2 second difference.  Closest women's race ever.

Wow, Walter was running strong through the 30K mark (2:35 target), I wonder what happened over the last 12K?  I noticed he beat Lance Armstrong by 1:30!

All 3 guys beat Lance.  He admitted before the race that he didn't train as hard as he should have.

Wasn't this Lances excuse last time!?!  Or maybe marathoning is harder than he expected.

He admits he would like to do well, but is pretty laid back and says he doesn't train near as hard as he could.  So that is what leads to his times- you can't fake it in a marathon.  He says he is too busy travelling for his charity and spending time with his family to really train hard, so I can't find fault in his priorities.

This is what Lance said after about the marathon and the hills:

Armstrong won the Tour de France seven times on the strength of his work in the mountains. When he started preparing for Boston, his third marathon, some race veterans told him the hills weren't as difficult as their reputation made them out to be.

"They were wrong," said Armstrong, who finished 496th in 2:50:58. "They are harder, and they do come at a difficult time in the race."

So I ran it with Lance, or at least most of the race. He ran the first half pretty conservatively, enough to where I got impatient and pulled ahead. Then he came back and caught me at mile 16, so we ran the rest of the race with each other. I can tell you that he was pretty strong that last half, and we were passing TONS of guys all over the place. He was pushing it, trying to make his goal of 2:49 (which was also my goal). We both came up a little short, but we battled it to the end.

Check it: http://wbztv.com/video/?id=61668@wbz.dayport.com. I'm in the red tank top behind him at first, then I go by him on the right at the last stretch. He probably didn't train the best, but he's still tough.
