Hasay 34s back, Des 90.
Kiplagat now taking rest breaks at the fluid table. Smart racing.
Cost her ALOT of time making sure she got the right bottle.

Kiplagat is a beatst, but did she push too hard? That was suicidal for 5k...she still has 25 minutes to go in the heat.
Rupp looks awesome.
Dude she has like a 3 block lead! 2nd place isn't even in sight!
It's over

I love China.
i lol'd at the last comment.
Me too. More please.
Rupp doesn't have that many guys he has to beat. I mean do we really expect Abdi or the Jap0anese guy to win. Mutai was dropped earlier (but got back up). Canova told us that Kirui was a big talent but only had small trianing.
How many guys does that leave? 3 or 4? Kitwara, defending champ, someone else??
This is really daft. They have generic aid stations for normal people. Surely the special drink can't be worth that much time?

No, she doesn't look good. Looks like she decided to break up an obviously very strong field, but it may be a gamble. If she's challenged at the end she may not be able to respond.
You and agip spoke too soon. It's over. Way over.

I'm calling Rupp ftw. Looking really smooth right now, like he's jogging.
If he does win LRC will claim it's a "weak" field

When you're getting tested in an hour I wouldn't take a bottle that wasn't mine.

er they are slowing
luke and ward at 2:12 now
meb at 2:13
Alberto Salazar probably hid it
Rossi on 3:12:45 pace thru 15k. REAL close to his 3:11:45 pace at Lehigh Valley. Let's go Mike!!
Men are through mile 18 (first 2 miles of hill). 19 is mostly downhill. 20 and 21 up hill with heartbreak hill on 21.
You got 6k to go, bro; grab some gatorade from the kids' table

I wish Edna had just tossed over all of the tables.
What would have happened? Can they DQ you? Under what grounds?
And then smashed a chair over the nearest official's head as Jim Ross bellows "My God! What has just happened!?" WWF style.
Now those said the marathon would humble Hasay and Desi FTW have gone silent.

They basically just implied that.
