Significant pickup for ML from 25k to 30k, Fro holding steadyish.

Mad Mike is crushing it. His 5k split pace at 30km is 7:24. That compares to 7:31, 7:35, 7:37, 7:46 (at 20km), and 7:33 (at 25km). So he's looking like he'll be finishing with negative splits. Fro is hanging in there. His 5k split pace at 30km is 7:47, or just 2 seconds behind his 25km split pace of 7:45.

Older, slower, and trying to keep up with Tall Dave.

ML 1:47 ahead of Fro at 30K. ML pace now at 7:24, Fro at 7:47.

Life's journey is not to arrive safely to the grave in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!

ML 7:27 pace from 30 to 35k. Fro almost there.

Fro 8:09 pace for that 5k. The fight is on.

ML at 35K at 7:27... on pace for a sub 3:18. Fro pace now at 8:09. Come on Fro.... hang in there. Projecting 3:22:41 for him.

My prediction: Mad Mike will PR. His projected finish based on his average pace (7:32) is 3:17:27. But his last 5k split (at 40km) is 7:25. Fro is currently 5 minutes behind, but that will likely be 6 minutes at the finish. So I predict 3:23 for Fro. While his BQ is 3:25, he might not have enough cushion to get in for 2019.

Update: Fro is 5:55 behind at 40km, and his projected finish based on average pace (7:44) is 3:22:40. His current pace at 40km is 8:09.

ML might squeak out a Chicago PR but his overall PR (at Sugarloaf) isn't in play.

Dammit, Fro seems stuck at 40k, hope it's a tracking glitch...

Fro just PR'd with 3:16:20! Correction: That was Mad Mike.

MTA: I love how his icon on the map is just standing there now.

Yep, just hoping Fro isn't actually stopped at 40k.

What's Mad Mike's overall PR? Looks like his last mile and a half pace (after 40km) was 6:43. Nice! That's a fast finish.
