Mukunzi is just getting passed by 2 Japanese and Avitova. Avitova is trying to hanging in there with 2 young teenagers.
Kano 1km to go. Passed 9k in total time of...can't see. They are busy showing the Kenyan girl getting passed. Wow! That's different from what I'm used to here--they're showing other than leader(s)! ;o)

My wife complained I'm too loud! ;o) Gotta go downstairs...
Bloody hell! The Hokkaido/Tohoku team getting beaten by Kinki and SHIKOKU!

Tell your wife we love her because she loves you Nobby!
What do you know? Kenyan, Kilel, is getting back up to 3rd place.
Half way passed. Kenya is getting to the 2nd place, passing the Russian team.
Kano's official time was 32:06. Desiree's time was 32:57. Not bad at all...
The Russian's running action looks awkward to say the least.

Wow! Shimizu is going up a rough looking hill! She's gritting her teeth.
No idea how Akbar is doing. Will have to wait until the end of the leg to find out.
