One advantage about the heat bonking me out after the Kelley Race on Saturday: I passed out in bed super early, making it quite easy to wake up early Sunday morning to watch the Olympic women's marathon live on TV. It was the greatest and largest field ever assembled for a women's Olympic marathon, and the race did not disappoint. After early tactical miles, the Kenyans and Ethiopians took over with huge mid-race surges.
The last several miles were riveting and exciting to watch, as each runner tried to match each other's surges. In the end, Ethiopia's Tiki Gelana took the narrow victory and had a new Olympic marathon record to show for it. Great viewing to go along with the early morning coffee.
Minor rant/complaint: I said it before, I'll say again. Enough beach volleyball, already!
