I missed the first 26k of the men's race, anyone wants to give me a cliff notes version of what has happened so far?
Here are the men's k by k splits.

Here are the men's k by k splits.
https://twitter.com/letsrundotcom/status/1088639158384558080Women's lead pack is down to two (and three male pacemakers): Ruth Chepngetich of Kenya and Worknesh Degefa of Ethiopia.

1:27:43
2:03:22 pace
Final rabbit steps off at 30k. Three men have broken away up front: Asefa Mengstu (4th last year), Herpassa Negasa (2:09 pb), and Getaneh Molla (debut). They’re on 2:03:23 pace. If Molla can hold on, he’ll break Adola’s debut record (2:03:46).
Last pacemaker drops. Down to 4 including Molla the debut guy (now that Jeilan not in it). Mengstu the alpha male here? Saina the only Kenyan is still there.

Now Emmanuel Saina has rejoined the lead pack, and Shifera Tamru looks like he'll be there soon as he's closing the gap.
this has been the most consistent pacing I've seen in a marathon, by looking at the 5k splits. everything around 14:30-14:40
Saina making the race right now trying to keep the pace hot
3:04 last K for men. Slight drop off after pacemaker drops. Curious to see next K split

They finally got good weather for this race. Too bad Kipchoge put the WR out of reach or else they would be chasing it right now.
Nope, they won't break 2:04.
Meanwhile the 2 lead women are on pace to smash the course record by 2 1/2 minutes.
Negasa looks like he means business. Saina bursts like a supernova!
Negasa made a move at the front, Saina went up on his shoulder and gave him a look, as if to say "I'm still here," and almost immediately after that, Saina was dropped.
Good grief... again.
Women's leaders are on 2:16:49 pace at 30k!!
Only 1 woman has broken 2:16 in history. Only 3 have broken 2:17 in history.
Pace is slowing a little so a sub 2:16 seems out of the question as they were on 2:16:25 pace at 25k.
Women's 1st 30k -1:37:16 16:16, 16:17, 16:07, 16:05, 16:15, 16:26
Edesa has now dropped off at 26k, it’s down to Chepngetich and Degefa
From 25k to 30k, they split 16:36. Still on 2:16:49 pace, but slowing slightly from the last split.
Men's race getting very interesting! A couple guys still close but running on opposite sides of the road. Women still flying, Chepngetich needs to get her act together on those fluid stations!

This is wrong. Only 1 woman has broken 2:17. Only three have broken 2:18.
Depressing stat of the day. Only 2,134 people are watching the stream live right now.
50,000+ are so full of vanity they'll run NYC but not 1/25 of them will watch Dubai.
Only Molla staying with these 2:50 Ks Negasa is throwing down.
