@redcrew That finish was absolutely wild! Seeing Nathan Martin hunt down the leader in the final 800 meters was the definition of grit. Overtaking Michael Kamau by just fractions of a second (2:11:16!) after 26 miles is just legendary stuff.
It's so cool to see a coach from Jackson, Michigan, take the top spot on such a massive stage. Definitely the highlight of the weekend, what a win for the Mitten State! 👏
Thanks for sharing by the way.
@redcrew Good day Mrs, how's your day going hope it's productive and calm and where are you located!!
