Sell is 50 yards off the leaders already.
Sell is 50 yards off the leaders already.
Second mile is 4:48
Maiyo, Muindi, Njenga and others are up there, though the field is strung out.
Sell is already 50 yards back, Todd Williams makes a big deal out of it.
Is this Todd Williams the same Todd Williams who was an elite 10k guy?

Not sure.... But he's covered it in the past, so probably. I just started tuning in. Sell's by himself big time.
Anyone have the 5k split? Looks to be right around 15 minutes.

"That's right where he wants to be!"
"I don't want to sell Sell short..."
But the coverage is very good.
Taylor says the 5k split is 14:54 but all the Kimbia guys at least miss their water.

Dieter is gonna be pissed.
Tomescu-Dita goes out in 15:27. WOW.
Who is the tall white guy with the Hansons boys group?

Constantina is far ahead in the women's race. She's tucked in a guy's pack, which looks to include a Hanson's runner or two (judging by the uniforms).
Ha, more like a half dozen.
She's at 20:41 for 4 miles. She's insane. I think this is way too fast to even break her competitors, I think she might have blown her race. This, of course, assumes she doesn't know something we don't know. ;-)
Is anyone else blown away by how fast these guys are going? I know that the commentator said it, but it's still true.
UPDATE! The 5:15 pace group just crossed the start line.

Yea, I can't disagree with you. I don't know if it's just her normal form, but she's exerting and pressing.
Thats Pat Moulton in the blue uniform with the Hansons-Brooks guys.
What song is playing at the starting line on the coverage? That's classic. They always play that friggin song. It cracks me up.
Does anyone have a "must play" list of songs at the start/end of a major marathon?
In the 6th mile, Abdi's still in the lead group (about a dozen). Crappy coverage now, as they go to a commercial without informing us of Sell or anyone else.
Plus I think it's fun to compete at the level where I am now. I'll never forget that I was a 10:06 guy for 3200 meters in high school. That's maybe 10:15 for two miles. I was nothing. And now I get to run with the best guys in the world in the best races in the world. It's a privilege and an honor to do what I do.
