NYC Marathon

I love watching marathons.

I went out on a limb and picked Kara Goucher to win today, but you just can't beat Paula Radcliffe. She's insane. First of all, she's the best ever--4 of 5 top marathon times ever. Secondly, she had a longer build-up and is much more experienced than Goucher.

1. Radcliffe (2:23:55) -- 8th win in 10 marathons
2. Petrova (2:25:43) -- fastest ever for a 40-year old woman
3. Goucher (2:25:52) -- fastest ever debut for an American woman

For the men, I picked Abderrahim Goumri to win today. No dice.

1. Gomes dos Santos (2:08:43)
2. Goumri (2:09:07)
3. Rono (2:11:22)
