Looks like the women might splinter a lot from the start with personal pacemakers, but who do you think will go with the lead men's group? I'm feeling like most top guys will go with it, maybe John Korir and Wesley Kiptoo go 2nd group? Also can a pacer really go 35-40k at 2:01 pace?
I see the WR go down today. 60:40 is 2:01:20 pace. Having 3 pacers that shall go way beyong half (we have to see if this happens) means the WR is on the mind of at least Kiptum.
I'd say we see the first 2:00:xx time.
In the women's race we might see something in the 2:11-2:13 range again.
I hope Rupp & Mantz are healthy and we see at least 2:06s.
American women could be an AR, too, although Bates talked about the AR before Boston, too, and came up almost 4 minutes short. To give her props, IIRC Boston was headwind this year. Sisson seems like a possible 2:17 anyway after that great race last year.

Wow. I am hyped.
I say:
Kiptum 2:00:35.
Mantz 2:05:56
Rupp 2:06:48
Sisson 2:17:23
Bates 2:18:49
Well done
nice. nailed one of them. everything else was sadly wrong. definitely didn't get 3 pacers beyond halfway. Just one, and he seemed to just kind of be in the way. they were horrid; probably worst case scenario.
