Thompson has been got but for reference Last year the men split 14:20 at 5k Chris Thompson was 15:00 this year . On TV they said the chasers were 55 seconds back but that was incorrect. Chase pack was 15:14.
Yeah it did not make sense to me when I wrote down the splits I saw on screen. The gap definitely did not look that big.
Kiplimo gradually winding things up, and the lead pack seems to be down to three at 9 miles including him, Cheptegei and Z. Talbi
They've flooded the coverage so far with Huddle stuff and she's not even in the picture at the 1 mile mark.
I don’t think she was ever in the conversation to win. Seeing Huddle back out is awesome though, I’d absolutely love to see her return to the highest level.
For this race, it’s good they’re doing the Huddle features, now. Hopefully toward the end of the race the focus will be on the leaders.
It was a little strange that the profile played up the running mom angle as much as it did and Huddle said there haven’t been a lot of elite women runners that gave given birth. My sense it is fairly common.
It also said she gave birth 11 months ago. Didn’t Salazar have Kara Goucher back in top form a lot sooner than 11 months after her son was born?
