We recap everything Boston Marathon starting with Lawrence Cherono's sprint victory over Lelisa Desisa, then we talk about Scott Fauble and Jared Ward going sub 2:10 for America (21:28), before looking at Worknesh Degefa's dominance, Jordan Hasay's great run and pondering whether she is America's best marathoner (35:00). Plus listener audio on Rojo and Scott Fauble (44:40), a look at who was the best 3 hour or celebrity marathoner in Boston: Joan Benoit Samuelson, NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson, 71 year old Gene Dykes, Wired editor Nicholas Thompson, or convicted murderer Markelle Taylor (54:54)? We talk with the men's "open" winner in Boston Stephen VanGampleare (71:45) and end by looking at the curious doping case of Clemence Calvin who set the pending French national record in marathon (80:00).
