I disagree, since they felt the need to show the women's finish for 15 minutes while the men were making important moves...at least we know we won't have that problem here
By the way, you can follow the splits here:
Apparently I was wrong on the third mile, it was 5:15. Followed by 5:2x.

Here's a site summarizing the splits, the pace and the projected times during the race. Pretty good analysis of Boston, and their post-race report got some play on the homepage too, it was pretty decent.
London should be good from here.

I'm watching it live on tv in England...we complain about our coverage...this is horrible. The elite woman are running, and they've been interviewing celebrities and random people for the past 10-15 minutes.

Yeah usually tv coverage of this sort of race is more focused on the fun run portion of the event.
I recommend the Universal Sports feed... knowledgeable announcers and fairly good coverage.
5:28 sixth mile. They're all over the place.
flotrack updating via twitter...
can't believe this feed doesn't work in safari
hopefully they will have lengthy interview with david and victoria beckham jk
10k in 33:14. Second group about 15 seconds behind.
Mikitenko, Yamauchi, Chunxiu, Okunaga are the 4 contenders. Rest are 15+ seconds back.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
