Anyone notice her prize money for the race? $500. It would have been $1000 if she had broken 2:39. That amount of prize money has got to be a bit disappointing...

I think 1st is $170K, which is good, but when you consider that WINNING one of the most prestigious events in running earns you what Kobe makes in just 2 games.....yeah, it's a shame.

Time cut would have been 2:16:30 for the men. My friend went top 10...I'd say he was happy with his race, but you never know!
