Ryan Hall Sets American Record for Boston Marathon, Comes in 4th
Bittersweet day for American marathoners. Hall ran a 2:08:41, which is the fastest Boston Marathon ever run by an American, but managed only a 4th place finish because Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot crushed the course record with a 2:05:52. Meb Keflezighi came in 5th (noticeably limping) at 2:09:26 – only 11 seconds slower than his personal best and New York City Marathon winning time.
Universal Sports provided the only video coverage of the race, charging $4.99 for the privilege of listening to Al Trautwig and Larry Rawson – which is like paying to be repeatedly smacked in the head with a two-by-four. I coughed up the fee so you wouldn’t have to miss out on my annual rant about the broadcast. Tune in tomorrow for that.
