The second wave just started, while the elite men clocked in at the 10k mark in 29:16.
The elite women ran the 10k in 33:23.
Damn that's fast
They are hauling out there! Nobody wants to be the first to drop out of the lead pack.
Yeah the men ran 10 miles in 47:10. That's just stupid!
And they just dropped a 4:39 mile.
Oh. My. God.
And they just dropped a 4:39 mile. Oh. My. God.
Mile 12! Holy shit, they're just getting warmed up!
The Russian woman looks like a giant out there.
More important than the elites: anyone stalking any forumites?
Dave
She does, or the other women are just that small?
The lead men ran the half in 1:01:52, the women in 1:11:10.
Yes. Maybe she's just a little tall, though -- the African women are often tiny.
Does she have on two different shoes?
Wow. The men have dropped all of the pacers short of 25k and I think they were supposed to stay around to 30k. They're moving.
Short term goal: 17:59 5K
Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).
Maybe they're different color on the inside compared to the outside?
Watching the women's wheelchair finish made me realize how much it must suck to finish the race and really want a drink but not want to use your arms to get it.
Men's lead group is down to four - Mutai, Kimetto, Kitwara, Kogo
