Mile 12: 5:20, Mile 10 was 5:15 and 11 5:34. Paula looks like she's getting a slight gap. But after commercial, they're still together, Paula in front.Hutchins: Paula really only has one strategy, to go out hard and not let others into her race, but the men are different. If Wami is close, Paula "may have a problem."
Juli Henner, who's with the women, notes how different NY is to any other race. I agree with that.

the announcer was saying earlier that they were close to course record pace, does anybody know what the course record is?

Ndereba dropping back from chasing pack, which is 2:33 back, although Hutchins notes she's done this before.
Thank you for this thread...I can't get any video link to work on my mac, and don't have NBC Sports channel....
There's no way Wami can keep this up. She ran a 2:21 marathon five weeks ago.

i believe the womens course record is 22231 by margaret okayo.
Leaders on the 59th St. Bridge. Ndereba back with the other 2, with a 2:45 gap to the lead. Both Paula and Wima look very comfortable going up the bridge.
A little faster than the men's 16:51 from yesterday. Will Paula be 1 second faster per kilo and run 2:08:20? ;>)

Wami and Radcliffe 1:24:27
My current observation: Paula looks great. Wami struggling to stay with her.
If Paula makes a big move Gete will not be able to respond.

Ndereba falling back. Paula and Wami coming off the bridge, so we'll see what happens on First Avenue.
I haven't seen them take water or fluid at all. It's chilly here, but I'm surprised at that.
Jelena and Grigoryeva now on First.
Course record: 2:22:31 (03)
