The question lost most of its significance in light of the bombing, but I've since seen that temperatures were 10+ degrees higher than reported and the forecasted tailwind was indeed a head wind.

Womens race was a Fun last 5 miles to watch! USA ladies ran well!

I had heard that the weather forecast called for decent temperatures and a moderate tailwind. The times look fairly slow, though. Did the weather change?

Good job for Flanagan, Goucher and Hartmann! I'm sure they would have all liked to place a tad higher, but still very competitive with many of the world's best.
