I don't think, I know!

Gebs lead: 65s
If their 33k mark is correct, he's now 6 seconds up on pace now.
Looking for 1:43:36 or faster at 35k.

this is the first 5km segment Geb has slipped
the last 7 miles or so will be telling
Those differentials are relative to Tergat's marks, not to even pacing. Tergat finished fast. He slipped a little but has picked it up some; I suspect that he wanted to stay with pacers. Also the T&FN site has weather with a pretty good wind (SW14, probably KM/hr and at 10m, so ground level it is slower but it is not still if that is correct).
Yeah... Tergats 30-35km segment was 14:35
Geb will be in tough to match that!
2s down on even pace at 35k.
1:43:36 at 35KM
last 5km split of 14:42
still 23s ahead of Tergat
Still 21 seconds ahead of Tergat's split at 35k, he may still have a chance yet!
and a lead which has increased to 74s
2:04:53.8 pace!!
we could potentially see a 2:04 high and a few 2:06 low/mids
wow, someone said he needed to be at 143.36 or faster to be at or under the record.
i wonder if he is receiving letsrun.com updates on his splits to see where he is..........maybe he has a satellite dish installed in his head?

go on then! go you little bugger!!!
It will be decided in the last four miles.
