Default Results on rbr handicapping of Armstrong's marathon

Going through the thread "Armstrong's NYC marathon time?" we see the following
picks for time:

BJC at 2:35
Cowpunk at 2:55
RJK3 at "under 2:40: the question is by how much"
Joedopebucket said "I will be impressed if he does it under 3 hours."
Kyle Legate clocked in with "Who cares?"
Miley90 estimated 3:07-3:12
Rik Van Diesel guessed 2:44
Dwayne thought matching Jaja's 2:55 would be good but beating 2:42 (a time turned in
by Rolf Aldag in his marthon debut) would be a compulsive Lance's line.
Rik Van Diesel changed to a 2:40
Ryan Cousineau went with a "supermotivated" 2:34
Ewoud Dronkert went with a 3:10
Phil Holman said 2:57
Michael Press at 2:35
Mark Fenelli at 2:50
Ben Weiner talked about rbr-LANCE drug use scenarios

Since he ran a 2:59:37, I'd say that Joedopebucket is now officially impressed
(if only just), Phil Holman came closest with actual numbers and Ryan Cousineau gets
the Alex Trebekian "Oooh..."

Noted that Nike provided three elite-level marathoneers to pace him. Did they
peel off as they approached the line or did they get to sprint away at the end?
