The race is on live (embedded on the homepage)- also here:

http://www.rakmarathon.org/live/

The start was classic ONe of the best one's I've ever seen. The elites were bunched between a gate and there was no gun. They just counted down 5-4-3-2-1 but since there was no gun, the elites didn't know what to do. They stood there and didn't start until about 6-7 seconds were on the clock.

Let's hope they subtract that time at the end.

The announcer said the pace was as follows:

1km 2:51 for men 5:49 for 2km. On my watch, I saw 8:32 for 3k - now I think i started my watch when they actually started running, not when the race technically started

Women 6:22 for 2km (67 min pace).

Anyone get the 10k split? Maybe my idea of splitting it off of a U-stream feed is a bad idea as I had 28:40 which is 60;28 pace and much slower than the other splits.

What a great feed. The coverage of the race is excellent, and I'm really enjoying the music being played in between bouts of commentary.

The official 10k split for the men was 28:45 according to the announcers. Meaning my watch is more accurate as they must be adding on the 5-seconds when they stood there.

One nike guy Lilesa - and 5 adidas guys. Lilesa to the front.

Wasn't Keitany supposedly only going for 67-ish? I was under the impression that she wasn't anywhere near peak fitness right now.
