Yep, Amy in lead.
Really Amy. This is a good idea. Please don't do what your fiance always does. Be smart.
Now a Coach-- Thanks it is working-- Just upset that I missed the start :(
Right now, out of the the three, Kipchoge, Bekele, and Koech, Kipchoge looks the most comfortable at this pace.
Ugh I hate the way they're covering this race. It's so hobbyjoggish.
who's that tall kenyan pacing the elite women?
Koech has the high and tight arm carriage, similar to a Sam Chelanga.
Don't count Tariku out-- Can a pacer finish or must they drop out?
Typically, men pacing men, they can finish if they want.
depends on the race but typically if they do their job they are allowed to then continue running if they want.. We saw it in the half marathon a few months ago with Kipsang
The weather lady just confirmed that the wind was at their backs just for the first mile - so far at least. So that explains the fast first mile.

She is actually giving some good weather info now
Why am I getting the news instead of the race?
Why isn't anyone talking about Dickson Chumba?
He just ran the Tokyo marathon a lot faster than world record holder Dennis Kimetto was able to. He is a sleeper, and should be in the mix late.

Do count Tariku out. No well in hell he goes further than his contract requires him to
Huh. What's up with first place on the women's leaderboard?

Chip malfunction? Fast dude in someone else's bib?
Too many interruptions.
Weather report again with a live reporter at mile 1? Can't wait for the update in a few minutes.
super annoying coverage. I agree too hobby joggerish. I guess they believe they can't just show the elite race in whole otherwise people will get bored. We're missing all the splits to the race, it sucks!

I hope they tighten the coverage up.
