Boston Marathon 2018 - Yuki Kawauchi Highlights

it's seven great cities and the city of Boston, from 26.2 miles, it all starts in Hopkinton and goes to Ashland Framingham, which not long ago became a city, Natick Wellesley, where this race will probably be loudest and then to Newton and the famous Hardwick break. hill where last year's women's race in Brookline was decided, past the Citgo sign and now empty Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox in honor of Boston and one of the great finishing stretches on Boylston Street from where we spoke to you today and we go and there will be a big wave right behind the elite men the conditions might be getting a little better it starts on route 135 and the destination is Boylston Street and it's finally underway and probably very happy to be underway like James O'Brien James, what's the situation like out there?

Well, it's pretty miserable right now, Ally, we had a moment of respite in the rain just as the shots to cover this field right now are coming down very hard once again. I would say it's a bit. The torrent is a bit short, so the conditions are really severe. I think it will be quite a challenge and perhaps the defining challenge of this year's race. James, what's up with the headwind? Have you noticed that he does it very well? To be honest, it seems pretty calm. Larry's It's hard to tell in this covered vehicle we're in, but the trees are still the few flags around here that don't seem to flap much in the wind.

This is Kawachi doing what appears to be crazy. I don't know what to say. I mean, I don't know what he's thinking, but if he's thinking about going on camera, yeah, that's true and he's running extra. It's a great side angle. There you have a great idea of ​​the turnover and in some cases I would say within five K or maybe. ten someone is going to deliver a piano to this gentleman - Gary - seeing thirty one this is too fast Wow hawlucha my apologies so I started everything right okay I spent a bit of time and the service in Japan and I should know .

Better, well, what's a little interesting to me is that three other people have decided that okay, let's just take the space and not let it waste time so that it looks like men are definitely going to run faster before women . Wilson should head up. There I talked about ecology, you know, going out so strong, how about his first full mile, just over 1500 meters in 4 minutes and 37 seconds? I mean, it sounds like a plan, I don't even know what to say, so tell him, huh, he'll go back to In the field, I want to show you what we meant when I said 437 mile pace, if you extrapolate that to the full

marathon

, that It's a one-minute

marathon

and beats the best pace in the world.

Cao Lu Chi has decided that it is a two and eight hour marathon. of minutes or he has run it in Seoul and doesn't want it to be at a slow pace, but I'm surprised at how fast it came out. I think he will pay a very high price for this at some point. At that point, Evans Chebet took over the pace and decided that he wanted to push forward and keep things really honest and then he's running a strong, tough race given the conditions. This is interesting. Tibet is a 205 marathon or anything could happen here in Boston.

He has better times than guys like ruff and a lot of guys behind him, although it has never been done on a challenging course like Boston, they have a seven second lead over the group, Evans chebet and callaloo G tolas, right there in the second group, this is kind of a two-man breakaway that can collapse pretty quickly Galen Rupp is right there in third place, we're in an Elite Eight, indeed, and two or three others just fell out of the group a bit cold, she's falling. Now they can get back in touch with some of the others who have regressed, but right now our winner may come from this pop group of eight on the male side.

It looks like our friend Callaloo Chee is back in the lead after the way he ran. The first 3,000 meters of this race I never thought this would happen. Hey James, he's back, so he's the other early leader, but Cahuachi is gaining momentum and has separated himself from Felix Candy, Geoffrey Kuru II and the rest of the contenders, the top contenders. with that hat and I'll tell you like Larry, like you said, it's a monsoon right now, it's coming down harder and harder with every meter, we're now at the 12 mile mark, which is 60 minutes and 18 seconds unofficially, but cahuachi, but he's just matching the pace like he did from the beginning, so, God bless him, but these are difficult conditions and he's certainly a difficult runner.

Good info James, that's right at five minutes per mile, pace is now 211 if they keep it up for the rest. of the race and that is quite an achievement Feliks Candy right behind in the all black uniform wearing gloves and seen to the side right next to his shoulder, that is the highlight for Cao Lu Chi 'How and we mentioned it before in Seoul. he had achieved 208, so he did two raises on the front and the first one didn't work. This one doesn't look like it's going to last either, but he's leading the way. I'm surprised you're pushing how old she still is up there. holds the record for the most sub 20 races ever done in history, has run 76 of them in two hours and 20 minutes, phenomenal stuff from our control center, interesting idea, the women are projected to finish in 238 , so they have less than an hour, the men are projected to finish in 211, they have less than an hour and there is this idea that the men's race, because of how slow the women have run, could actually catch Women, how about that?

I've never seen that. What about that? It's hard to believe that the winner of this stage of the race, Newton Hills notwithstanding, will actually slow down. I mean, he's obviously incredibly strong, so this is the third time he's come out, right now he's hiding behind it, so he's letting the candy do the work. As for breaking the window properly, I think we have about 14 men in that lead pipe. The only one missing since we last checked in is actually Abdul Abdul Rahman, who is fourth about 200 meters from the pack, but we have 14 men here, all contenders.

Interestingly, defending champion Jeffrey Kirua is leading the race well, as I see as I speak, our first heroes have taken the lead again. Kawachi, there it goes once again, so we assume it will come back in, but we still made it because of your Courage I can say that the conditions have not improved marginally in the sense that there is no longer torrential rain, but the rain is still falling constantly and is making things very, very demanding for all riders. It is notable that they are going at the pace they are going. So for the fourth time Karrueche is taking a break, it's not what he intended, but the way his right arm moves as he walks is almost as if he's beckoning the others to come with him.

Now this is that downhill that can really burn your legs now Ichi wanted to see how much progress he had made and is doing some running in a spot race, although I know I can't think of anything else to do other than hide behind someone when you have a headwind of up to 32 km. /h as to how hard it blows with gusts maybe even a little higher and look at the university. I'm just shaking my head saying this is a guy in 2017 he ran 12 marathons Graham 209 and changed for the best but he's just awesome he runs marathons that often make your body recover in Snow Runner 209 there he's making more progress he's in his prime, he's 31, he's Yuki and now the men's field is completely falling apart.

James had happened so suddenly, hadn't it? He certainly did. Hill passing Route 128 was the first body shot that did any damage with Kawachi picking up the pace. Galen Rupp lost ground significantly going up that hill and here, when we had just passed 17 miles in 1 26 26, unofficially, Jeffrey Carew II, defending champion, has just put the pedal to the metal and takes off, he has about 10 meters on let me Texan, but Carew looks remarkably comfortable, I must say that despite the conditions, he has really put the hammer down and is making the first significant move we have seen. In this race so far, the entire field is completely spread out and Galen Rupp must be almost 100 meters behind Jeffrey Flurry at this point James, I think that's a very proud move from Carew, he looks very proud, well, certainly he does, I mean like I said he looks remarkably comfortable, as it adds up throughout the race, whether he's in the group right at the front of the field, he looks very, very determined, as you say, very proud and Well, if he can get another win, a back-to-back win here.

This year you'd have to say this is even more impressive than last year given the conditions, the depth of the field and the way he's running right now, ok last time Louie hydrated I still have that proud step he has the early wind he himself has a very solid lead, he's running around three minutes and 20 seconds through Newton Hills to split his kilometer, his lead was now down 55 seconds down to one minute and 27 seconds and Yuki is just getting the job done here, cut Coyote, look at this. simply amazed seventy-six marathons in less than two hours and 20 minutes his body must be a miracle of recovery it is rare that you can see a guide the way he has this is the fifth time tonight yes from the rest of the FINA group well , if I said Carew easily, he only slightly expanded the 35 km in the race, so he has 7 km to cover 7000 meters and he has a minute and a half advantage over the second place, it is Joffrey for Rui in

2018

, this is Joffrey karui 2017 and it was Peru Yahoo 35 kilometers away. away from ruff and hammered the next 5km made a big difference and Galen later said I ran too hard at Newton Hills before Carew Lee passed me and I couldn't catch Carew II who was only 25 and coming from a small town called Karen. gap in Kenya the pictures look a little different today they certainly do Yukie Cowell ouchy from Japan making that country deeply proud that he is running extraordinarily well and moving forward he was probably on TV for half the race today God just I can't believe I did it. which he did because he ran the first 1500 meters as fast as he did, I mean, he shakes his head 15:01 at 207 marathon pace for the first 5K that this guy does and I thought, wow, this doesn't make sense and Look.

He just acted so brilliantly and our director Bruce Troy retired and this is an incredible point. He wears glasses. I don't remember a single time he cleaned them. How about a slightly below zero wind chill for pretty much the entire race and he just ran like he was outside and you know, 25 degrees Celsius temperature for the day, this guy has been in a movie today and his legs in this Drive look like pistons , it seems that he is totally comfortable. I'm actually driving great, it looks fantastic now let's go back to the first time and again. look at the hits in the sleeves, talk about consistency Karrueche, the last three splits, so we don't look at Ruiz, the lead was 131, it's been that way for a while, so kuru has been working at a pace of about 317 per kilometer and it's about to Catch it Bali is crowded it's crowded and here comes Karrueche, the marathon is so relentless, you know, if you are a top athlete and even if you are, you know someone runs twice a year, you can Having a bad race is not like a sport. event or football where you can play a lot of events or over the course of a year you get over it pretty quickly here you have to live with the fact that my God, I trained him hard for six months and did a I just didn't have a good day and that eats you up every day until the next race.

James O'Brien helped us bring this guy home. I'm not sure he's out of the woods yet and to be honest although he still has a significant lead in his last two miles at 519,531 his four is still very good but he's been battling strong headwinds for a long time now. his account, he keeps looking over his shoulder, he did a very poor job of running off on a tangent so I think he's working a lot harder than he seems just by looking at his form. He really is a man with pocket time, so even when he is working hard and fighting, he may not show up in the divisions.

I tell a different story. 519 531 and me. I think for the first time in a couple of miles we can see the second place finisher on the road. It's too early to crown Carew by showing off his racing style at the moment and the fact that his lead has increased from almost over a minute. now it goes down to 30 seconds and the trainer can watch him and see what's going on 4000 defeated four thousand four thousand meters is a distance you can beat someone safely look how close he is getting to Carew II vicaroo moved too hard and too much Soon James O'Brien alerted us to the move, it seemed impossible, but this guy has been a bit of a miracle man today.

Nakula was returned to Rui, now he will face some traffic. Chi from Japan is there throughout this entire race. Lowerdown Boylston Street is going to be amazing, but look at the closure that's happening with the power of Yuki Carrot Kaali. Oh Chi, I'm Peru II. This look takes about ten seconds and all Korea is doing is looking over his shoulder and looking over his shoulder. took the time to have a drink, the last Japanese athlete to overwinter, she hit, wow, Seiko, the world's number one marathon athlete who was in 1981, tallien, she just now, while we were watching, Linda took the lead.

Totally, this is incredible, she showed us the cards she wanted to play in the first mile and look at the lead now and ten more squares. This is amazing, it's just incredible to think that she goes out and runs the first 1500 meters at the beginning. fast and then fades back and searches and fades back in searches she keeps moving away it seemed like this was Joffrey Carewesta secured second place in a row. I talked about how humiliating the race is, you know, and what could happen in a marathon and he goes through these ups and downs.

Wow, I never thought I'd really take faith so easily so quickly when He physically hit the wall, He did it, He did it and then the stride got shorter and you know, things just fell apart, He pushed it too soon and leaving what he did in the first half of that race, we talked about how it wasn't like that. It makes sense for the leader and I actually said I don't think your chances of winning are minimal and he was so strong and so powerful that he held it together until the last stages of the race.

The fact that Yuki has run 12 marathons and his body is so used to the resistance of this and he has run 209. I think it has helped him overcome this headwind that he endured. Continue towards Boylston towards the library and the finish line. I'm sure they have the Kenyan national anthem loaded. on the machine to play, they have to make the change, you know, in Marshfield, Massachusetts, he ran with them on New Year's Day, he cheated in a marathon and that was the 76th time he broke two hours and 20 minutes that no being human has ever done.

He did it before and he did it under very bitter conditions that were a prelude to this. It was even a lot colder than what we're seeing now and Marshfield that day, so even maybe that race, how can I cope with what we endured today? the temperatures were around zero all day from the window's point of view, okay, no degrees Celsius and there's the scene where we thought we might see Des London as soon as he finished celebrating, it's even close to finish and the story, he is at the head of the final stretch, but far ahead of him. your ecology of Japan and has been a metronome all day, the same arm, action, piston, Pike Drive with his legs, has not shown the weakness that many others have, since they paid and got into what athletes sometimes They call now. the survivors shuffle what a happy time for him they talk about being dedicated to his audience that's why sports are sports just when you think you're sure you're not Yuki callaloo Chi is the
