Maybe this group was looking at the 2:14 barrier because that was the first time bonus. A sub-2:14 was worth $1,000 (second time bonus: sub 2:12 - $3,000.) And, since these guys had elite bid numbers, 2:14 had to be by the clock time - not the chip. A 2:13:59 group "training run" and a $

I believe this group was following the pace duties of Rod DeHaven and Godfrey Kiprotich, who Culpepper gave thanks to. I think DeHaven pulled to about 16M. But, Culpepper's splits on the Marathon web site are 45:18/1:03:57/1:32:33 with a 4:56 finish average on his 2:09:41. Not bad for a guy who

Unfortunately, unless you can get Chicago's NBC affiliate TV signal, this marathon will not be seen on live TV in the U.S.A. outside of Chicago. But it looks good if you are in Japan and the U.K. As for radio, I'm not sure of the strength of the ESPN 1000 AM signal. There will be regular o
