Men’s race
14:13 for lead group. Way slow -- they were supposed to run the first 10k in 27:50. They’re on 59:59 marathon pace.
28:10 at 10k. They’ve picked it up a bit (13:57) to the pace they were initially supposed to be running. Now projected to run 59:24. Lead pack is still huge
Rabbits off around 35:00 and Hadis takes up the mantle up front and is leading. Pack stretching out just a little.
Kiprop, Haftu, Wanders, and one other behind Hadis. Group of five .
Now it's single field at the 38:30 mark. Wanders is responding well.
Hadis is GOING FOR IT. The guy we picked to win looks like a BEAST.
